I wanted to understand how all industrial startups build a competitive advantage. I attempted to map the entire industrial startup industry - see the chart below. I then filtered these startups into 10 main categories and labeled the top startups per category. I then looked through the top startups to understand how they innovate by function, feature and use case, which is the contents of the industrial report I wrote - please contact me if you'd like to view it.
The report I created only contains 7 main categories and some of their subcategories. There are many more categories/subcategories that I did not include in the report that are part of the industrial industry including marketplaces, manufacturing/industrial services/products, maritime applications, many robotic subcategories and a few others. My report does overlap with the supply chain industry, if you’re interested in that report please contact me. Below is a funding breakdown of the categories I will cover in this report in order of the table of contents:

There are a handful of insights to gather from each subcategory based on product data. I will leave it up to the readers to identify trends from each category.
Top Startups
I want to showcase what I think are the top startups per category globally. These companies have demonstrated they have a unique product and a great team. All of these startups are written in my report. The majority of these startups are based in the US. I’m sure I missed a lot of startups, but this will serve as a great base.
