USE CASE:
Fintech companies and funding signals
What follows is the honest set of ways to get funding signals on fintech companies, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Funding Press Signal Scanner is the one named below that covers fintech companies.
Where this starts
Fintech companies skew funding signals, for a reason specific to them. Fintech companies sit behind a licence, so the trading name and the regulated entity are often two different companies, which shapes funding signals. Worth knowing about fintech companies, since funding signals inherits it: the marketing site belongs to the brand and the filings to the licence holder, and joining them by name fails. Funding Press Signal Scanner carries 1 ready made setup for funding signals on fintech companies.
What is at stake
Filings name a raise at fintech companies weeks before the press cycle does, and two quiet weeks beat a perfect message sent on everyone else's morning.
How we would run it
- Start with one of fintech companies you already know, so a wrong funding signals answer is obvious rather than plausible.
- Run Funding Press Signal Scanner across your list of fintech companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for funding signals.
- Read ten rows of funding signals on fintech companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- The FCA and FINRA registers, for fintech companies. Free, authoritative on who is licensed, and useless for anything about the product.
- 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.
