Most innovation consultancies spend more time searching for data than generating insights. ReGACY changed that dynamic. Here’s how they did it and why it matters for firms still relying on traditional approaches.
Client Overview
ReGACY Innovation is a deep tech strategy consultancy that replaced weeks of manual research with always-on competitive intelligence across multiple sectors, without building a single data system of their own. They help enterprise clients track the competitive landscape across fast-moving sectors, and their edge is speed: clients get answers at the moment of discussion, not a week after the brief.
Their clients
Enterprise strategy, corporate venture, and investment teams that need decision-ready competitive intelligence in high-velocity sectors where the landscape shifts quickly.
Their advantage
Rather than spending consultant hours crawling sources and maintaining data, ReGACY plugs into Tracxn's structured company graph and focuses all effort on insight, not collection.
The Challenge
Scaling a startup intelligence product means confronting the same structural constraints every time. The firm needed to solve all four simultaneously.
Manual research could not cover the pace and breadth of the global startup landscape. The problem compounds as the product grows.
Users needed live answers at interaction time, not the result of an overnight research process. Batch jobs do not cut it for competitive intelligence.
Competitive relationships, sector taxonomy, and news signals are expensive to build and nearly impossible to keep current at scale.
Building data infrastructure in-house would have consumed all engineering focus, leaving nothing for the product experience that actually differentiates ReGACY.
Where Tracxn Added Value
The core advantages that became foundational to how ReGACY's product works, none of which required building or maintaining a single data system.
The data layer's speed enables enriched, user-facing experiences at the moment of interaction. No batch jobs needed, always current.
Tracxn's company graph surfaces competitive relationships across millions of companies with zero manual curation, instantly available when a client asks who the real players are.
Tracxn's sector, feed, and business model classifications become the structure through which users explore the product. No classification system to build or maintain.
Keyword-filtered news enables category-level intelligence. Clients track innovation themes across a sector, not just a fixed list of named companies.
The firm scaled to cover competitive discovery, sector navigation, and thematic monitoring across multiple sectors without owning any data infrastructure.
All effort stays on delivering insight to clients. Tracxn handles data collection, structuring, and upkeep entirely, freeing a lean team to move fast.
How Innovation Consultants Use This
Innovation consultancies across strategy, corporate venture, and market intelligence use Tracxn the same way: to move faster, cover more ground, and deliver sharper answers without scaling headcount.
Competitive landscaping for a new brief
When a client asks who the serious players are in an emerging sector, consultants using Tracxn can pull a structured, funded-company landscape within minutes, ranked, filtered, and ready to present. No scraping, no manual deduplication.
Tracking a target company's competitive set
For M&A or investment due diligence, teams surface competitors of a specific company instantly, with funding data, founding year, and business model already structured. What once took a junior analyst two days now takes seconds.
Monitoring a sector for a long-term client
Retainer clients who want a monthly innovation pulse get more than news alerts. Consultants use Tracxn's sector taxonomy and thematic signals to track which business models are gaining traction and which new entrants are being funded. Category-level insight, not just headlines.
Coverage in markets that are hard to track
Coverage gaps in fast-growing and less-documented markets are a recurring challenge for consultancies. Tracxn's structured data on funded, early-stage companies across deep tech sectors covers ground that is nearly impossible to replicate through open-source research alone.
