What’s new? Well first of all, this space: a place where you can keep up to date on all our latest platform improvements and shiny new features! We’re constantly evolving the Beauhurst platform, and look forward to using this new space to keep you informed.

To get things started, here’s a roundup of our recent updates:

Upload lists of companies

A much requested feature, you can now upload lists of companies (perhaps current clients, or spreadsheets of companies you’re keeping an eye on) to a collection. Either copy and paste your list, or upload a csv file–to get started, go to My Collections > Create Collection.

Find people using job functions

The range of job titles at startups and scaleups can make finding people with the right experience a challenge. Interested in finding a Head of Sales? What about a “Chief Commercial Officer” or a “Business Development Director” or a “VP of New Business”? To make your search process smoother, Chynna, our Data Quality lead, created a classification algorithm for job titles–with clear categories including “Sales/BD”, “Finance”, “Legal”, and “Investments”. Now all you need to do is check a box in Advanced Search!

This feature is only available to subscribers with access to the Networks add-on. Please contact your account manager to find out more.

Upload contact lists to My Network

Find out who you know at Beauhurst tracked companies by uploading your contacts from Linkedin, Gmail, or a csv file from a CRM system. Once they're added to your Network on the platform, your existing contacts will be marked as first degree connections alongside the wealth of information on company and fund profiles. And who needs Networking events? Since your second degree connections will also be marked around the platform, you can start planning your next warm introduction.

This feature is only available to subscribers with access to the Networks add-on– please contact your account manager to find out more.

New Advanced Search criteria

We often receive requests to add new criteria to Advanced Search, to help you run searches which are as targeted and relevant as possible. Recently, we’ve added the following:

• Corporate structure characteristics for company searches (subscribers with access to the All Company data add-on)
• Usual residential countries for people searches (subscribers with access to the Networks add-on) 
• Market capitalisation at IPO for company and IPO searches
• Operating profits and intangible assets for company searches

Phew! Watch this space for the next update 😊
