About VantaInsights

Research you can cite. Data you can trace. Reports from $239.

Why We Exist

Traditional market research costs $800-2,000+ per report and takes weeks to deliver. Firms like IBISWorld and Euromonitor employ teams of analysts to manually collect and analyze data — producing excellent, deep research. But that pricing model locks out startups, small businesses, students, and independent consultants who need the same data to make informed decisions.

VantaInsights delivers professional reports built on verified federal data — Census Bureau, BLS, FRED, and SEC EDGAR. Every number cites its source. Every claim can be traced back to the original federal dataset. Reports delivered in hours, not weeks.

How It Works

Data Collection

We query federal statistical databases directly via API — Census County Business Patterns for establishment and employment data, BLS for wage benchmarks, FRED for economic indicators.

Analysis & Structuring

Raw data is structured into market sizing, competitive landscapes, growth forecasts, geographic breakdowns, and industry trends. Every metric cites its federal source.

Validation & Quality Check

Every numerical claim is cross-checked against source data. Pre-computed metrics (CAGRs, ratios, YoY changes) ensure accuracy. If a number doesn't match the source, it gets corrected.

Delivery

Reports are formatted into publication-ready PDFs with charts, tables, and executive summaries. Marketplace reports download instantly. Custom reports deliver in 48 hours.
