Using the market profile will allow for you to see trends across a market while quickly comparing companies, funding and news.
Viewing a market profile (featured or one found through search) will provide you with several different sources of information:
Overview
The Overview section will give you at a glance the number of companies considered to be a part of that specific market, as well as other related markets that share overlap with a number of companies within that market.
Companies
The Companies section lists out each company individually within the chosen market, giving its name, location, date founded and total funding to date. By default companies are organized by total funding but can be reorganized by clicking on the 
arrow icon next to the category header, and can further be organized in ascending or descending order by clicking again.
Hovering over text with dotted lines under it will present a popover, giving you more insight into the topic of the text.
