I know there is a vibrant startup scene there and the whole co-working/office sharing scene is growing fast (WeWork, ShareDesk, etc.).I've been doing most of my searching and analysis with Excel and manually scrapping data, looking at listings on Breather to estimate pricing and demand, going through WeWork listings etc.I was wondering if there was any software or service you would recommend using that would help automate the searching process?
