Hi HN,

VCs love publishing dense "Market Map" JPEGs, but they are essentially dead data. If you see a logo you like, you have to manually Google it to figure out what they do.

I built a tool called Scaapr that takes these images and reverse-engineers them into structured data.

How it works:

Upload a market map image.

AI extracts the hierarchy (Category -> Subcategory -> Company).

We run a "disambiguation" step to match logos to real Crunchbase entities.

The result is a fully searchable, interactive board.

Example: I ran the Sapphire Ventures "Cybersecurity Market Map" through the system. You can see the result here:

Would love your feedback on the accuracy and any other features you'd find useful!
