News Signals

Real-time company news events including funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, product launches, executive hires, and expansion announcements.

Overview

News Signals capture real-time company events—funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, product launches, executive hires, and expansion announcements.

We monitor news sources across 4M+ companies, extracting and categorizing events into 30+ subtypes. Each signal includes the source article, key sentence, and structured metadata (location, people involved, financing type, etc.) so you can act quickly on timely triggers.

The result: you know when a prospect just raised funding, hired a new CXO, opened a new office, or announced a product launch—the exact moments when budgets unlock, priorities shift, and vendors get evaluated.
