Seedtable alternative for defense tech
Seedtable is a generalist startup database that scores and ranks companies across every sector — fintech, AI, cybersecurity, defense, and dozens more. Defense is one tag among many rather than a first-class focus, so it doesn't carry the contract, program, or cap-table detail defense tech specifically requires.
A broad ranking engine, not a defense-tech system of record
Seedtable's model is a single score computed the same way across every industry it covers — useful for a quick cross-sector pulse, but it has no notion of a DoD contract award or an EU defense program, and its deeper financial detail is reserved for a separate paid Terminal product. Atlas is built the other way around: one sector, covered completely, with contracts, programs, and cap tables cross-linked by default.
| Dimension | Seedtable | Defense Tech Atlas |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Generalist startup database across every sector, ranked by a proprietary score | Defense tech only — founders, funds, contracts, and programs cross-linked |
| DoD contracts | Not tracked — defense is a topic tag, not a contract-level data source | Every contract cited and linked to the awardee's funding history |
| EU programs | Not covered | EDF, NATO DIANA, and national programs tracked alongside investors |
| Cap tables | Funding rounds and headline investors; fuller cap-table and valuation data sits behind its paid Terminal tier | Full cap table view, including undisclosed rounds flagged explicitly |
| Sourcing/Verification | Editor-reviewed profiles, but contact and some financial fields are gated behind an upgrade prompt | Every fact cited to a public source, no paywalled fields |
| Price | Freemium self-serve, with a paid Terminal tier for valuations and deal terms | Free tier; Pro at $49/month |
Seedtable for a broad startup pulse, Atlas for defense-tech diligence
If you're scanning startups across many sectors at once, Seedtable's ranking approach is built for that. If defense tech is specifically the job, Atlas gives you the contract-to-founder-to-investor links that a generalist score doesn't capture.
