Our story

New AI products launch faster than anyone can follow. The places people go to find them were built to sell attention: directories that rank by who paid, list products forever after they die, and say nothing about whether a market is empty or crowded.

That leaves investors, founders and teams making real decisions from lists nobody checks. Is this market already saturated? Is the company we are worried about still operating? Who else is building here, and where?

FalcoScan was built to answer those questions with data. Every company is checked before it counts, every market is scored every night, and when a company shuts down or is acquired, we record it rather than leave it on a list. The method is public, so any number can be traced and challenged.

As of data updated 2 November 2026, the dataset covers 8,621 AI companies across 30 markets, 8,192 of them operating. The AI Graveyard lists 138 products verified as shut down or acquired (32 shut down, 106 acquired), each with a published source; the catalog has 314 listings marked shut down.

How we collect data and verify it

Three sources, one standard: nothing is published until it has been checked. The details are on our data and methodology pages.

Public sources

What companies publish

Company websites and product pages, public announcements, and official registries. In Singapore, for example, headquarters are matched against the government’s Startup SG records.
Local partnerships

The people closest to each company

Makers submit their products and send corrections, and partners are checked before they are featured. We are opening data partnerships with accelerators, universities and ecosystem organisations that know their local companies. If you run one, get in touch.
Research and verification

Checked, then scored

Every company’s headquarters and operating status is checked, duplicates and rebrands are merged, and scores are recomputed nightly. That checking is how the AI Graveyard verified 32 shutdowns and 106 acquisitions, each with a published source.

Questions about FalcoScan

What is FalcoScan?

FalcoScan is an AI market intelligence dataset. It tracks 8,621 AI companies and products across 30 markets, scores every market for opportunity, saturation and wrapper risk every night, and records when a product shuts down or is acquired. It is available on the web, over an API and to AI agents over MCP.

How is FalcoScan different from Crayon, Klue, AlphaSense or Similarweb?

Those tools answer different questions. Crayon and Klue are competitive intelligence platforms that monitor the specific competitors a company chooses to follow. AlphaSense is a search engine for market and company research such as filings, broker research and transcripts. Similarweb estimates website traffic. FalcoScan maps the AI market itself: every AI product it tracks, which markets are crowded or open, who leads each one and who has shut down. Teams often use it before or alongside those tools, to decide which market and which competitors matter.

Does FalcoScan scrape the web in real time?

No. FalcoScan is a maintained dataset, not a live scraper. Each company is checked before it is counted, duplicates and rebrands are merged, operating status is verified, and market scores are recomputed every night. Every score has a public definition on the methodology page and a date, so any number can be traced.

Who uses FalcoScan?

Investors screening AI companies and markets, founders and product teams choosing where to build, strategy and research teams that need numbers they can cite, sales teams building account lists of AI companies, and developers and AI agents that query the data over the API or MCP.

Is FalcoScan free?

Every market page, market score and source on FalcoScan is free to read, and every product page rates the product by band (for example high opportunity or a crowded market). A free account adds 7 days of full access, including the Market Terminal and exact product scores, with no credit card. Pro, Studio and Team plans keep exact scores and add unlimited tracking, score history, seats and exports, and data access puts FalcoScan into your own tools over the API and MCP.

How should FalcoScan be cited?

Cite FalcoScan (falcoscan.com) with the date of the data you used, and link the market, product or report page the number comes from. Every page shows the date its data was last updated, and falcoscan.com/llms.txt gives a citation format for AI assistants.
