USE CASE:

Catching a company in the weeks after it raises

The job here is catching a company in the weeks after it raises, and every real option for funding signals is below, ours and everyone else's. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for this kind of work, and Funding Record is the one aimed at funding signals.

What is actually going wrong

New money gets spent, and the spending decisions get made faster in the first ninety days than at any other time in the company's life. Everyone knows this, which is the problem. A funding announcement puts a company on forty sequences the same week, and congratulations on the raise is now the most ignored opening line in sales.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Crunchbase. The obvious answer, good coverage, and a paid tier for anything programmatic. Everyone targeting funded companies is looking at the same rows.
  • SEC EDGAR Form D. Free, authoritative, and earlier than the press by weeks in some cases. US only, and the filings are unpleasant to parse.
  • An investor's portfolio page. If you sell to one kind of company, three funds cover most of your market and both publish every new investment.
  • Read the announcements. TechCrunch, the SEC Form D feed, the company's own blog. Free, public, and about twenty minutes a day to keep up with one sector.
