Introducing Brandmine Hub: Intelligence for Power Users

3 min read

brandmine.ai tells stories. hub.brandmine.ai delivers data. Our new intelligence platform gives power users the tools they need to search, filter, build custom found sets, and export actionable data on exceptional Global South brands at key inflection points.

We built Brandmine to make exceptional Global South brands easy to find. Our storytelling site at brandmine.ai does that beautifully—transformation stories, founder profiles, visual exploration, geographic discovery.

But some users need more than stories. They need data.

Today we’re launching Brandmine Hub at hub.brandmine.ai—a database-driven intelligence platform built for researchers, investors, and business development teams who need to find brands that match specific criteria, fast.

Two Platforms, One Mission

brandmine.ai is for everyone. Browse stories, explore maps, discover exceptional brands through narrative. No login required. Designed for serendipitous discovery.

hub.brandmine.ai is for power users. Search structured data, build filtered queries, export results. Built for people who know exactly what they’re looking for—or need to systematically find it.

Same brand data. Same geographic intelligence. Different interfaces for different needs.

What Hub Delivers

Search That Thinks Like You Do

Hub’s Quick Filter (Cmd+Shift+K) is a keyboard-driven query builder that lets you construct precise searches across all our brand data:

  • Multiple criteria: Combine markets, sectors, attributes, and signals with AND logic
  • Field-specific operators: Filter by contains, equals, greater than—whatever the data requires
  • Array filters: Find brands with specific signals (investment-ready AND export-ready)
  • Saved presets: Store your common searches for instant recall

This isn’t keyword search. It’s structured querying of real business intelligence.

Found Sets You Control

Build your own brand collections based on whatever criteria matter to you:

  • Russian wine brands with investment signals
  • Natural beauty brands in Southeast Asia at scale-ready stage
  • Founder-led food and beverage companies exporting to China

Filter, review, refine. Your found set, your criteria, your export.

Maps That Drive Decisions

Hub’s mapping goes beyond discovery. The same PostGIS-powered location intelligence from our main site, but with tools for serious geographic analysis:

  • Regional concentration: See where brand density creates opportunity
  • Market presence: Understand international footprints at a glance
  • Proximity search: Find brands within specific distances of key locations

Geography shapes strategy. Hub makes geographic intelligence actionable.

Export What You Need

Found the brands you’re looking for? Export them. CSV format, all the metadata, ready for your own analysis or CRM import.

We’re not building a walled garden. We’re building a tool that helps you do your work.

Built for Specific Users

Investors and VCs screening deal flow in emerging markets—filter by signals (investment-ready, scale-ready), sector, and geography to build qualified target lists.

Business development teams seeking partnerships or distribution—search by export status, market presence, and sector alignment.

Researchers and analysts studying specific industries or regions—export structured data for deeper analysis.

Journalists and consultants needing verified brand intelligence—find the brands that fit your story or client brief.

If you need to systematically identify Global South brands that meet specific business criteria, Hub is built for you.

The Intelligence Stack

Hub runs on the same Supabase PostgreSQL database that powers brandmine.ai. Same brand profiles, same founder data, same geographic coordinates, same transformation stories.

The difference is access pattern. The main site optimizes for browsing and discovery. Hub optimizes for querying and export.

Both platforms update together. Publish a new brand profile, and it’s immediately searchable in Hub. The intelligence stays synchronized.

Try It

Visit hub.brandmine.ai and start exploring. The Quick Filter (Cmd+Shift+K) is the fastest path to what you’re looking for.

Note: Hub requires registration to access. Request demo access or contact us to get started.

We built brandmine.ai to illuminate exceptional brands through story. We built Hub to make those same brands findable through data.

Different tools for different jobs. Same mission: connecting Global South brands with the people, partners, and capital they need to grow.
