This Perplexity Prompt Writes Investor-Ready Market Analysis in 60 Seconds Flat
No fluff. No frameworks. Just an Artificial Intelligence ChatBot called Perplexity AI that’s now writing better investor research than most junior analysts. I’ve used this one prompt over 40 times—and every time it delivers a clean, insight-packed, startup-relevant market brief.
The results aren’t just fast. They’re useful. It finds sources, quotes them, analyzes categories, and outlines the entire landscape like a partner who already read the S-1.
Here’s exactly how I use Perplexity AI to generate market overviews that sound like they came from a VC research desk.
The Prompt That Started It All
Paste this into Perplexity Pro (or Claude if you’re comparing):
Act like a startup analyst. I’m preparing a memo for investors on [insert product/market].
Create a 4-section market brief:
- Category snapshot
- Competitive landscape (named companies)
- Recent trends & shifts (past 12 months)
- Market size estimate with at least one cited source
Format clean, short, no filler. Use source links where needed.
Here’s the output you’ll get in under 60 seconds:
- A clear definition of what the category is
- The 5-7 best-known players
- Any major funding, exit, or shift in the last year
- A market sizing paragraph with a link to a real source (Pitchbook, CB Insights, Fortune)
Most people spend 3–4 hours Googling for this. I get it before my coffee cools.
Why Perplexity Beats GPT and Claude for Research
Perplexity was built for retrieval + reasoning. It doesn’t hallucinate nearly as often, and its structure is sharper. When you prompt it like an analyst—not just a summarizer—it delivers tier-1 output.
Claude is better at tone. GPT is better at formatting. But Perplexity wins when speed + citations matter.
Here’s what I use each one for:
| Tool | Best Use Case | Weak Spot |
| Perplexity | Research, links, summaries | Less emotional tone |
| Claude | Rewriting, human tone | Weaker in market data |
| GPT-4 Turbo | Polished structure, email | Hallucinates stats |
How I Run This in Chatronix
The workflow isn’t complete without Chatronix—my favorite AI interface where I can run all 6 top models in one chat.
When I paste my investor prompt, Chatronix instantly shows me how:
- Perplexity retrieves real-time data
- Claude rewrites it to sound human
- GPT-4 formats it like a memo
- Gemini highlights future angles
- DeepSeek simplifies jargon
- Grok makes it tweet-thread ready
It’s like getting six junior analysts fighting to write the best deck.
I do this every week—prompt once, get six views, pick the best, save it.

My Investor Memo Stack (Updated July 2025)
| Section | Prompt Focus | Model Tested Best |
| Industry definition | “Category snapshot, in 1 paragraph” | Perplexity |
| Competitive landscape | “Name top 5-7 players, their focus, stage” | GPT-4 |
| Trends & recent events | “Shifts in last 12 months, with source” | Perplexity |
| Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM) | “Estimate with links + date + source” | Claude + Gemini |
| Risks + Opportunities | “2 risks, 2 upside scenarios for investors” | Claude |
I copy/paste these into a memo template. Takes 15 minutes, looks like I spent days on it.
Bonus: How I Used This to Pitch a SaaS Studio
I ran the prompt stack for a client building a vertical CRM in the wellness space.
Output:
- TAM = $2.1B U.S. boutique wellness software (Statista, 2024)
- Top players: Mindbody, Vagaro, Zenoti, PocketSuite
- Shift: post-COVID retention plummet, rise of hybrid models
- Angle: software that drives referrals, not just bookings
We turned that into a 3-slide market section. The studio got a second call with one of the top 5 microfunds in NYC.
They thought we had a research team. We had Perplexity.

Final Thought
AI isn’t replacing analysts. But Perplexity replaces the grunt work. If you’re writing market slides, internal briefs, or investor updates—this is the fastest way to go from Google to strategy.
I still rewrite in Claude. I still polish with GPT. But for the bones of the research? Perplexity + Chatronix is unbeatable.
Try it once. You won’t go back to Chrome tabs and PDFs.
