Could you build this?
Partial The Three.js/WebGL 3D globe visualization is vibe-codeable, but scraping, structuring, deduplicating, and geocoding a curated graph of nearly 250,000 tech entities and their relationships requires extensive data pipelines.
What it would actually take: The frontend uses Three.js or Cesium with WebGL instanced rendering to display hundreds of thousands of nodes smoothly. The hard part is building resilient web scrapers, data cleaning/deduplication pipelines, entity resolution models, and relationship mapping algorithms across Crunchbase, LinkedIn, university registers, and investor portfolios. This requires data engineering expertise and ongoing data acquisition infrastructure.
