Introducing ✨ News Topics ✨, a new and real-time way of identifying key non-transaction events in a company's timeline.

Using a new ML model, we're reading and extracting key information from news articles and tagging them with our new Topic labels. Our first three Topics are:

• Key people change
• New product or service
• New property

Topics are also searchable in Advanced Search! You can discover and create Collections for new opportunities for when a company has been mentioned in the news for one of the above.

Advanced Search company criteria: Significant events > News coverage > News topics

Discover key moments in a company's journey quicker than ever before, for example, identifying the appointment of a key person before it's officially filed and published on the platform via our traditional data flow under 'Person added'.

Jump into the Timeline tab on Company Pages now and discover key moments mentioned in News articles you may have missed!

We’ve expanded our Signals, adding two brand new “exit” Signals and increasing our environmental Signal coverage by over 5k companies.

Exit signals 🚪

Our two new exit Signals, “Acquired” and “IPO”, cover over 13k companies and allow you to easily see and search for companies that have successfully exited.

• Acquired - use this Signal to find companies that have undergone a corporate acquisition or been bought out by a fund or business angel.
• IPO - use this Signal to discover companies that have listed on a stock exchange via an initial public offering.

Combined, these two Signals cover nearly every exit event for every company in our database, providing new insights into the most successful businesses.

Environmental expansion 🌳

We’ve also grown our environmental Signal coverage to over 45k companies, providing even more insight into the burgeoning green economy.

As part of this expansion, we’ve launched a new buzzword for “Carbon capture”, allowing you to hone in on even more granular areas of the net zero space.

Explore carbon capture

There are loads of ways in which you can use this data. For example, if you’re not interested in public companies you can use the IPO Signal to easily exclude them from your results. 

Alternatively, you can use the Exit Signals alongside our Equity fundraising Signal to quickly find equity-backed business that have gone on to successfully exit. Click the button below to try it out!
