Choosing the Right Market

In a world where everyone wants to launch the next big thing, picking the right market is just as important as having a great idea.
At EasyRound, we don’t just list startups - we curate them.
And that starts with choosing the industries that actually matter.

The Core Question: Why This Market?

Every industry has its moment. Some problems are waiting to be solved, while others have solutions that are overdue for a serious upgrade. The challenge? Finding markets that are not just hyped but have real opportunities for growth and disruption. That’s why we rely on a mix of the best insights from Y Combinator’s Requests for Startups (RFS), a16z’s Market Maps, Sequoia’s research, and real-world investor activity.

‍

What We Look For in an Industry

Not all markets are created equal. Here’s what makes us stop and pay attention:

◾️ Massive Problem, Not Just a Trend - The best startups solve urgent, widespread issues. We scan reports from Y Combinator and OpenAI’s startup initiatives to find problem spaces that are still unsolved.

◾️ Timing Matters - Being early is great; being too early is a graveyard. We analyze McKinsey’s tech trends and Techstars' industry challenges to spot markets where technology and demand are aligning now.

◾️ Funding Signals - Where are smart investors placing their bets? a16z’s American Dynamism and Sequoia’s investments give us a strong read on sectors with serious backing.

◾️ Regulatory Shifts & Policy Moves - Some markets open up overnight because of a new law or government initiative. NASA’s Tech Transfer program, SBIR grants, and DARPA’s focus areas are great early indicators.
