In an era of rapid industry evolution, the speed and depth of information are key for startups to stand out in a competitive market. FINDIT, the Taiwan Startup Information Platform, is designed specifically for Taiwan’s startups and investors. By integrating databases, articles, and matchmaking events, it accelerates the growth of Taiwan’s startup ecosystem and facilitates capital flow. This article outlines the features and services of the FINDIT platform, sharing how startups can utilize its content and matchmaking events to secure investment opportunities and achieve sustainable growth.

FINDIT — An Information Platform Designed for Taiwan Startups

"Capital" and "Information" are the two key drivers propelling startup development. Startups need a clear understanding of the market landscape, investor profiles, and fundraising channels to address investors' pain points and secure meaningful partnerships. Conversely, investors need to grasp market trends and evaluate the potential of startups before engaging in deeper discussions.

To address the information asymmetry between startups and investors, the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) was commissioned by the Small and Medium Enterprise and Startup Administration (SMESA), Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2015 to establish the FINDIT Platform. By collecting domestic and international data on startups and investment markets, FINDIT helps startup teams and investors quickly grasp the development of Taiwan’s startup ecosystem and reduces investment risks caused by information gaps.

Built on the needs of startups and investors, FINDIT provides practical information on early-stage funding, fundraising strategies, and industry trends. Furthermore, it connects early-stage investment partners and resources through matchmaking events and specialized forums, fostering strong links between venture capitalists (VCs) and startups. Today, FINDIT is one of Taiwan's most representative early-stage funding platforms, continuously energizing the fundraising environment and driving ecosystem growth and exchange.

Beyond Information, FINDIT Serves as a Bridge Between Startups and Investors

By developing Taiwan’s most comprehensive database of startups, investors, and deal events, FINDIT helps users quickly identify market trends and potential teams, positioning itself as a critical information platform that supports the advancement of Taiwan’s innovation ecosystem.

The transaction database—featuring funding status and rounds—enables startups to adjust their R&D and business strategies in response to policy changes and industry movements.

It offers comprehensive data on startups, including funding rounds, investment amounts, and participating institutions, enabling investors to efficiently screen potential teams and track funding timelines.
