YouTube Videos (Company)

A company's YouTube channel activity — product launches, keynotes, and strategic announcements.

Overview

Company YouTube Videos surface what companies are publicly communicating through their YouTube channels — product launches, conference keynotes, partnership announcements, hiring pushes, and strategic roadmaps.

We track YouTube channels across 4M+ companies, pulling recent video activity with engagement metrics. Each video is analyzed by LLMs to extract structured pain points, initiatives, technologies mentioned, and competitors referenced — the same intelligence layer used across LinkedIn and Twitter/X signals.

Company YouTube content is polished, long-form marketing. Initiatives are the primary signal type: product launches, partnerships, expansions, hiring, and events. Pain points are rare but valuable when they appear (post-mortems, "lessons learned" content). Product demos, webinars, and customer stories are common but are mostly marketing noise — our extraction layer distinguishes between problems a company SOLVES (their product) and problems a company HAS (real signals).

Note on pain points: Company YouTube videos are almost always marketing. Pain points are rare — they typically only surface in post-mortem/transparency videos, hiring-difficulty discussions, or infrastructure challenges the company acknowledges publicly. Most company videos will have an empty pain_points array. This is expected.
