Start.me overview page with organized OSINT resources and research tools

Why Start.me?

Bring OSINT research into one clear starting point

Start.me helps researchers turn scattered tools, source lists, and investigation links into a visual dashboard that is easy to scan and share.

Problem

Research resources are scattered

Search engines, public records, social tools, maps, breach lookups, and notes often live across browser bookmarks, docs, chats, and spreadsheets.

Solution

Create one OSINT command center

Collect your most-used tools and sources on Start.me pages so every investigation starts from the same organized place.

Benefit

Move faster without losing context

Researchers spend less time hunting for tools and more time validating sources, documenting findings, and sharing useful collections.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Start.me for OSINT?

Start.me helps investigators and analysts collect search tools, source lists, maps, notes, and reference links on one visual start page. Instead of rebuilding the same toolkit in bookmarks for every case, you can organize workflows once and open them from anywhere.

What is the difference between Team and Enterprise?

Team suits a single research group that needs one shared workspace with SSO and a custom subdomain. Enterprise is for larger organizations that need unlimited team workspaces, unlimited members, centralized administration, and custom pricing. See OSINT pricing or our Teams page for more details.

Can I share OSINT toolkits with my team?

Yes. With a Team or Enterprise workspace you can share pages securely with colleagues, control who can view or edit each page, and publish everything on a branded subdomain like yourteam.start.me.

How does Start.me help organize OSINT resources?

You can group search engines, people finders, maps, archives, notes, and enrichment tools on Start.me pages by workflow, case type, or investigation stage. Widgets, folders, and drag-and-drop layout make it easy to keep toolkits scannable and up to date.
