For Founders
A competitive landscape you can filter.
Scopic gives every competitor, every acquisition, and every integration its own record — connected, queryable, and always current.
Join waitlistThe situation
You have a competitor tracker in Notion and an ecosystem diagram in Miro or a slide deck. When a competitor pivots, you update the tracker. The diagram is stale within a week. The relationships between companies — who acquired whom, who integrates with whom, who competes in which segment — exist only as implicit knowledge.
The tracker holds the data but loses the structure. The map shows the structure but loses the data. Neither is wrong. They are just two things where one would do.
The relationship between companies is a record
In Scopic, the 'competes with' relation between two companies carries a segment, a date confirmed, and a notes field. The 'acquired' relation has a price, a date, and a strategic rationale. On the map these render as typed, labelled connections. In the database they are rows you can sort and filter. The relationship is the research.

Tracker and map from one source
Every company on the map is also a row in the database. Filter to companies that raised in the last twelve months. Group by segment. Sort by last-updated date. The map shows the structure; the database lets you interrogate it. Change a company's funding stage once and both views update.

Ecosystem beyond competitors
Infrastructure providers, distributors, regulators, adjacent tools, and potential acquirers — all in the same model as your competitors. Connect them by type: dependency, partnership, competitive overlap. See the gaps, risks, and distribution opportunities that a flat list misses.

What people say
Moved my competitor research into Scopic six months ago. The map of who competes with who in which segment is the most useful thing I've built for product strategy.
2 months ago
I used to keep a Notion table and a Miro map that diverged the moment I updated one. Now it's one Scopic project. Updating a competitor once updates everything.
1 month ago
The acquisition connection type changed how I track M&A. Every deal has a price, a date, and my analysis of the strategic rationale. Filter by acquisition and the whole map shows only that.
3 weeks ago
Investor deck used to require rebuilding the landscape from scratch every six months. Now I filter the Scopic map to current state and screenshot it. The research is always current.

The situation
You have a competitor tracker in Notion — companies, features, funding rounds, positioning. You have an ecosystem diagram somewhere else, probably in Miro or a slide deck. When a competitor pivots or raises a round, you update the Notion table. The diagram is stale within a week. The relationships between companies — who acquired whom, who integrates with whom, who competes in which segment — exist only as implicit knowledge.
The tracker and the map describe the same landscape. The tracker holds the data but loses the structure. The map shows the structure but loses the data. Neither is wrong. They are just two things where one would do.
What changes
In Scopic, the 'competes with' relation between two companies is an entry in the database with a segment property, a date confirmed, and a notes field. The 'acquired' relation has a price, a date, and a strategic rationale. On the map these render as typed, labelled connections. In the database they are rows you can sort and filter.
When a competitor pivots, you update their element once. Every map that includes them reflects the change. You can filter the database to show only companies that raised in the last 12 months, or only acquisition relations above a given deal size, and the map updates to show only those elements.
Maps you'd build
- Competitive landscape
Companies in your category as elements, with 'competes with', 'acquires', and 'integrates with' relations. Each company has properties for funding stage, key segment, and last updated date. Group by segment using swimlanes to see the category spatially.
- Ecosystem map
Infrastructure providers, distributors, regulators, adjacent tools, and potential acquirers, connected by typed relations showing dependency, partnership, and competitive overlap. Useful for identifying gaps, risks, and distribution opportunities that a flat list misses.
- Partnership network
Active and prospective partners with 'technology partner', 'distribution partner', and 'investor' relation types. Each relation carries a status, a contact, and a last-contact date. Filter by status to see which partnerships need attention.
