How do I build a market map of every company in a category?
WebRun rebuilds your market map every Monday. It runs your saved Crunchbase search for the category, captures headcount, funding total and location for every company into one comparable table, texts you through Twilio when a company enters or leaves, and posts the refreshed map to Microsoft Teams.
- A whole category lands in one comparable table every Monday
- New entrants and exits are texted the week they happen
- Segmenting a market stops being a week of tab work

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it contact any of the companies?
No. The only text WebRun sends through Twilio goes to your own team number. Companies on the map are never messaged, and no outreach happens from this workflow.
How do I choose which companies are in the map?
Save the search in Crunchbase once, filtering by industry category, location, and any size band you want. WebRun reruns that same saved search every Monday and rebuilds the table from the results.
What if a company was acquired or shut down?
It shows as an exit. WebRun compares each week's results against the previous map, marks companies that dropped out, and texts you the change rather than silently removing the row.
