What Galen Can Do
Galen is not just a chatbot that searches the web — it’s a full-fledged AI research analyst trained for structured, evidence-based analysis.
Here’s what it does best:
Market Sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM)
Galen builds detailed bottom-up and top-down models to estimate your market opportunity.
It shows every assumption, explains calculations, and includes low/base/high scenarios — so your strategy is grounded in numbers, not guesses.
💡 Example:
“EU SMB helpdesk software” → TAM = SMB count × adoption × ARPA; SAM = SaaS-ready segments; SOM = realistic win-rate in year one.
Competitor Analysis
Get a clear view of your competitive landscape — features, pricing, funding, integrations, and defensibility.
Galen presents everything in comparison tables and even generates a 2×2 positioning chart, ready for your next board slide.
Buyer Personas & GTM Analysis
Need clarity on your audience? Galen defines buyer personas with pain points, objections, and proof points.
It can also evaluate your go-to-market channels, using CAC/LTV benchmarks, funnel breakdowns, and channel recommendations — saving your team weeks of analysis.
Investment-Style Memos
For investors or executives, Galen produces concise memos with a thesis, market insights, risks, catalysts, and recommendations — complete with citations and dates.
Think of it as your AI analyst writing the memo you wish every associate could.
How to Get the Best Out of Galen
To get the most powerful results, treat Galen like you would a senior research analyst.
Here’s how to brief it effectively:
Be clear on your objective and audience:
“Investor memo for seed funding — board-ready.”
Define scope and timeframe:
“US healthcare SaaS, mid-market, last 12 months.”
Provide inputs and priorities:
Upload PDFs, dashboards, or links — and specify what matters most.
Set deliverables and format:
“5 competitors, pricing comparison, 3 risks + mitigations, in DOCX.”
Clarity in means clarity out — and Galen rewards you with reports that hit the mark every time.
