We’re now identifying around 75% more acquisitions every month — including much stronger coverage of PE buyouts.

What’s new?

1. Identify all acquisitions announced in the press — even if the company hasn’t hit another Signal
2. We continue to identify and track companies post-acquisition — we’ve lifted our general “ceased tracking” rule
3. Backfilled timelines — we’ve added historic acquisitions for previously ceased tracking companies

Why it matters

Acquisitions are powerful triggers. More coverage means you can:

• Find companies undergoing strategic change.
• Find people making pivotal career moves.
• Win opportunities at exactly the right moment.
• Monitor portfolios for exits or buy-side trends.
• Report impact through successful M&A and PE Buyout activity

We’re not just adding more acquisitions — we’re combining them with rich company data to help you move faster, spot opportunities, and stay ahead.
