Frequently asked questions

Kurrant.ai is an end-to-end AI-powered investment intelligence platform. It covers the full investment workflow — from discovering and screening companies to evaluating them with AI-driven insights, managing your team's pipeline, conducting deep research, and generating LP reports. The platform tracks over 6 million companies globally, including 150,000+ Japanese startups, and delivers custom AI recommendations based on your specific investment thesis. All data and insights are available in both English and Japanese.

Kurrant.ai is built for venture capital firms, private equity teams, accelerators, corporate venture capital (CVC) units, corporate innovation teams, and government innovation agencies. It serves anyone involved in investment decision-making who needs structured intelligence on startups and private companies. Founders and startups also benefit — by being in Kurrant.ai's database, they become discoverable by investors whose thesis aligns with their company.

Kurrant.ai serves both sides of the investment equation. If you are a founder or part of a startup team, being in Kurrant.ai's database makes your company visible to active investors — VCs, PE firms, and accelerators — whose investment thesis matches what you are building. Your company profile is AI-translated into both English and Japanese, extending your reach to global capital without cold outreach. Corporate innovation teams and government agencies also use Kurrant.ai for technology scouting and ecosystem intelligence.

Unlike general company databases, Kurrant.ai provides custom AI recommendations personalized to your specific investment thesis — not generic company rankings. It uses proprietary web-scraping technology to discover private companies and generate AI-driven insights before they appear in traditional databases. The platform covers the entire investment workflow end to end — from discovery and evaluation to pipeline management and LP reporting — rather than just providing data. It is also the only platform offering comprehensive bilingual coverage of the Japanese startup market, with all data points AI-translated between English and Japanese.
