In the fast-evolving world of investment, startups, and business development, access to accurate and up-to-date data is key to making informed decisions.

For investors, startups, and consultants, the data provided by Dodires can be a game-changer in understanding market dynamics, identifying investment opportunities, and developing targeted business strategies.
What Is Country Analysis in Dodires?
The Country Analysis section in Dodires offers users the ability to explore market data specific to various countries within the CEE, SEE, and Baltic regions. This tool provides a rich overview of a country’s economic landscape, allowing users to break down and analyze:
- Number of Companies: Categorized by main industry, showing where companies are most active.
- Number of Transactions: Offering a view of transaction activity across industries.
- Number of Exits: Detailing successful exits by industry, a critical factor for both investors and startups aiming for high-growth sectors.
- Investor Data: Identifying investors active in specific regions and industries, helping startups match with the right funders and investors find opportunities aligned with their interests.
By combining these features, the Country Analysis tool enables users to drill down into specific regions and industries, identify growth patterns, and map out key investment trends.
How Does It Work?
1. Selecting a Region and Country
Navigating the Country Analysis section in Dodires is straightforward. Users begin by selecting a region—either Baltics, CEE, or SEE—followed by choosing a country from the available list. For instance, countries like Estonia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary are featured, offering a detailed snapshot of the country’s economic and investment landscape.
Once a country is selected, users are presented with a dashboard showcasing various insights into the region, such as the number of companies by industry, the level of transaction activity, the prevalence of successful exits, and investor engagement. This information is invaluable for pinpointing the industries that are currently thriving and assessing the overall health of the startup ecosystem in a given country.
2. Industry-Specific Data
Within each country profile, users can view a breakdown of industries, highlighting where most companies are operating. For example, in the Czech Republic, the analysis shows a high concentration of activity in Business Services, Financial Services, and Health & Wellness, while sectors like E-commerce and Education are also seeing significant traction.
This feature is particularly useful for investors looking to align their strategies with high-growth sectors. For instance, if you’re an investor with an interest in Health & Wellness, viewing the industry breakdown for a country like Slovakia allows you to focus on that sector, assessing how many companies are active and where the most transaction activity has occurred.
3. Transactions and Exits
Dodires’ Country Analysis tool goes beyond simply providing a list of companies. It also tracks the number of transactions and exits that have occurred in each country. For example, the CEE region shows a high level of transaction activity in the Financial Services and Health & Wellness sectors, signaling strong investor interest and market potential.
Startups can use this data to assess where growth opportunities exist and what funding stages are most active. For example, if you’re a fintech startup in Estonia, you might be interested in knowing that Seed Stage and Series A funding are particularly active, helping you align your fundraising efforts with investors who are currently deploying capital in your sector and stage.
On the flip side, investors can use exit data to identify trends in successful exits within a particular industry or country. By understanding where successful exits are happening, investors can better predict which sectors are ripe for investment and which may offer the best returns.
4. Investor Data
One of the standout features of the Country Analysis section is its detailed investor data. Users can view a list of investors who have been active in specific regions, industries, or funding stages, giving both startups and investors a clear map of the funding landscape.
For example, investors like 365.fintech in Slovakia, or J&T Banka and StartupYard in the Czech Republic, are highlighted as key players in the local investment scene. This feature is incredibly valuable for startups looking to secure funding, as it allows them to target investors who have a history of funding companies in their industry and region. Conversely, investors can use this data to identify potential partners or co-investors who are also active in their target market.
Examples of Using Country Analysis in Dodires
1. Investors Seeking Strategic Opportunities
Investors looking to diversify their portfolios in emerging markets can use Country Analysis to gain a strategic edge. Let’s say you are an investor focused on E-commerce in the Baltics. Using Dodires, you can identify which countries, like Estonia or Latvia, have the highest number of transactions and exits in the e-commerce sector. You can also see which funding stages (Seed, Series A, etc.) are most active, giving you a clearer picture of where to invest and at what stage.
In addition, you can explore which investors are already active in this sector and region. This information allows you to potentially co-invest with local or international players who have a successful track record in the space.
2. Startups Targeting Investors
For startups, the key to successful fundraising is often connecting with the right investors. Country Analysis allows startups to tailor their outreach by pinpointing investors who have a proven track record in their industry and region.
For example, if you’re a Fintech startup in Slovakia, you can quickly see that 365.fintech is an active investor in your region. You can also examine which investors have recently exited investments in similar companies, providing you with a roadmap of who to contact and what to highlight in your pitch. This data is crucial for making your fundraising efforts more targeted and efficient.
3. Consultants Identifying High-Growth Markets
Consultants offering services such as legal, accounting, or business strategy can leverage Dodires’ Country Analysis to identify regions and industries where their expertise is most needed. For example, if you specialize in SaaS or E-commerce, you can explore countries like Czech Republic or Lithuania where these sectors are seeing high transaction and exit activity. By focusing your efforts on these high-growth industries, you can position your services more effectively and tailor your approach to meet the needs of companies in these sectors.
