Recommendation. Promising but needs more demand evidence before committing.

Why market gap = medium

While there are investment tracking tools available, many do not fully integrate across multiple platforms or address the specific needs of angel investors and employees with stock options.

Why feasibility = high

A focused team could develop a minimum viable product that aggregates investment data and provides basic tracking features within a few months.

Market gap and feasibility are LLM-estimated and directional — not market research. Treat as starting points for your own validation.
