Profile

After working in data science at Google, I built GeoVector to systematically measure how brands appear in AI-generated answers. Our approach is research-based, using position-adjusted scoring grounded in published GEO literature. The Y Combinator report is one example of the analysis we run.We ran 150 prompts across ChatGPT and Gemini, tracking 21 brands. Three things that surprised us:1. Techstars outranks YC on ChatGPT despite YC's far stronger Google presence 2. YC's own site accounts for just 8 of 940 AI source references 3. The single most-cited source driving competitor visibility is a blog post on pitchwise.se — not any accelerator's own websiteFull report at the link, no signup. GeoV
