The private markets intelligence space has long been dominated by platforms that excel at tracking what's easily quantifiable: funding rounds, firmographic data, and team information. While valuable, this approach misses a crucial dimension: the actual products and services that companies are building.
This blind spot creates a fundamental limitation in how investors, founders, and market participants discover and evaluate opportunities. Traditional platforms require you to know exactly what you're looking for – but innovation rarely follows such a linear path.

We believe the future of private market intelligence will be defined by platforms that can make sense of unstructured data at scale. If you're interested in being part of this transformation:
We're grateful for the trust placed in us by our investors and customers. The private markets deserve better tools for discovery and analysis – and we're building them.
