KeepTabz, an artificial intelligence-powered competitive intelligence and market intelligence startup, has raised $250,000 in funding to accelerate development of its platform that helps businesses monitor competitors, track market changes, and receive actionable insights. The company’s funding came from angel investors across San Antonio, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley, along with support from the Geekdom Community Fund. KeepTabz plans to use the capital to expand its AI-powered platform, grow its customer base, and continue building tools that help businesses automate competitive research.

Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, KeepTabz was created to address challenges faced by businesses that need to continuously monitor competitors, pricing changes, product updates, customer sentiment, marketing campaigns, and industry developments. The company’s platform is designed to replace manual research processes by using artificial intelligence to collect, analyze, and prioritize competitive intelligence from multiple sources.

KeepTabz was founded by Franklin Morris and Vitalii Melnychuk, who developed the platform after identifying growing difficulties among businesses trying to keep track of rapidly changing competitive environments. Morris, the company’s CEO and co-founder, previously spent two decades building and scaling marketing teams at startups, technology companies, and agencies. Melnychuk, the company’s CTO and co-founder, brings more than 10 years of experience as a full-stack engineer and engineering leader.

The company’s $250,000 funding round includes investment from angel investors based in San Antonio, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley. KeepTabz has not publicly disclosed the names of individual angel investors participating in the financing. The company also received backing from the Geekdom Community Fund, a San Antonio startup investment initiative focused on supporting entrepreneurs and emerging technology companies.

KeepTabz is developing an AI-powered competitive intelligence platform that helps sales and marketing teams track competitor activity across areas including company announcements, pricing changes, product launches, reviews, social media activity, advertising campaigns, and website updates. The platform is designed to provide users with a centralized view of market developments rather than requiring teams to manually monitor dozens of websites and information sources.

The company’s technology uses artificial intelligence agents to identify important competitive signals and prioritize updates based on their potential impact. KeepTabz aims to help businesses identify changes such as competitor product releases, pricing adjustments, shifts in messaging, hiring trends, customer sentiment changes, and other developments that may influence strategic decisions.

The funding arrives as demand grows for AI tools designed to improve business research and decision-making. Companies across industries are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence solutions that automate information gathering and transform large amounts of data into useful insights. Competitive intelligence has traditionally required significant manual effort, making it an area where AI-powered automation can provide meaningful efficiency improvements.

KeepTabz is targeting B2B software companies, startups, and sales and marketing teams that need better visibility into competitive markets. The company’s platform is designed to help organizations understand competitor movements and respond more quickly to changes in their industries.

Before its broader launch, KeepTabz operated through a beta phase and attracted early customers, including B2B companies such as Netlify, MixMax, eSkill, PromptLayer, and Clarify. The company reported launching with 15 B2B customers as it moved from beta testing toward general availability.

The company’s platform focuses on delivering competitive intelligence directly into existing workflows. KeepTabz allows users to receive updates through channels such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email, reducing the need for teams to repeatedly search for market information manually.

KeepTabz is entering a competitive intelligence market that has historically been dominated by expensive enterprise tools. The company aims to make competitive intelligence more accessible for startups and growing businesses by offering AI-powered monitoring and analysis capabilities at a lower cost.

With its $250,000 funding, KeepTabz plans to continue improving its artificial intelligence capabilities, expanding product features, and supporting adoption among businesses seeking faster access to competitive insights. The investment provides the company with additional resources as it works toward its goal of becoming an AI-powered intelligence platform for organizations that need to understand rapidly changing markets.
