Startup Ecosystem Growth Analysis
Web scraping to build a startup database, then descriptive analysis of the Aix-Marseille ecosystem to identify new income levers.
Business Context
La French Tech Aix-Marseille supports a growing ecosystem of startups. The organization needed a data-driven portrait of its members to unlock new revenue streams — but no structured database existed.
Strategic Problem
How to build a descriptive analysis of the Aix-Marseille startup ecosystem (robot portrait of members) and identify new income levers for both organic and external growth?
Data Sources
Custom-built database via web scraping of startup profiles, funding rounds, sector classifications, growth metrics, revenue models, and ecosystem partnership data.
Methodology
Developed web scraping scripts to build a comprehensive startup database from scratch. Segmented members by growth potential and sector. Identified underexploited income levers through comparative analysis with other French Tech hubs.
Key Results
Delivered an actionable growth strategy with identified revenue streams. Won the BDD challenge.
Business Impact
Framework directly applicable to any regional tech ecosystem seeking to scale funding and partnership models. Demonstrated end-to-end data acquisition via scraping.
