The problem
Your best prospects look exactly like everyone else. Until something changes.
A company that just raised its first round, converted to a C corp, took on new financing, or posted for a key role has a new need this month. Last month it didn’t. Static lists can’t tell the difference.
Contact databases show who exists. Not who’s ready.
Intent data is built for enterprise software. It misses most small and mid-sized private companies.
Your reps cold-call the same list as your competitors. Same names. Same pitch. Same results.
Signals, not lists
We watch for the moments that create demand.
Each signal is an event that changes what a company needs. We find it, date it, and link you to where it came from.
Conversion to a C corp
State registry filings
An LLC becoming a Delaware corporation is usually getting ready to raise.
New secured financing
UCC lien filings
A new credit line or equipment loan means growth and new financial complexity.
Hiring signals
Job postings
The roles a company is hiring for show where it’s investing: sales, marketing, finance, operations, IT. We watch for the roles that matter to you.
Accelerator acceptance
Accelerator batch announcements
Demo day is a deadline, and the raise comes right after.
Leadership change
News, company websites, registry filings
A new CEO or a generational handoff at a family business resets every vendor relationship.
Signals are configured to your market — we add custom signals for what drives demand in your business.
How it works
From signal to call sheet in four steps.
You tell us who you sell to. We do the watching, the checking, and the writing. Your reps make the calls.
- 1
Define your buyer.
We set up your ideal customer: industry, stage, location and the signals that matter to you.
- 2
We watch for signals every day.
Filings, registries, lien records, job postings, accelerator batches, company news and websites — plus custom sources for your market.
- 3
Every lead is qualified and explained.
Each company is checked against your criteria and gets a plain-English “why now” your reps can say on a call.
- 4
Your team gets a weekly call sheet.
Named contacts, the signal and its date, and a link to the source behind every row.
What your reps get
A reason to call, not just a name.
Every row gives your reps the company, the contact, what changed, and what to say about it.
Every row is traceable to its source. If we can’t show where a signal came from, it doesn’t go on the sheet.

Why it’s different
Lists tell you who exists. Signals tell you who’s ready.
Contact databases and intent data are useful tools. They just answer a different question.

| Covers small and mid-sized private companies | Partial | No | Yes |
| Explains why each lead matters | No | No | Yes |
| Links to the source | No | No | Yes |

Straight answers.
Still have a question? Email us and you’ll hear back from a person.
Where do signals come from?
SEC filings, state business registries, UCC lien filings, job postings, accelerator batches, company websites and news — plus custom sources configured for your market. Coverage spans major U.S. markets and is expanding over time.
How fresh is it?
Most sources update daily. Every row on your sheet shows the date of the event, so you always know how recent it is.
How many leads will I get?
It depends on your market and the signals you care about. The free sample list shows you real volume before you commit to anything.
Can you cover my industry?
If the event that creates demand for you leaves a trace we can find, usually yes. Tell us what you sell and who you sell to, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Does it plug into my CRM?
Today you get a weekly spreadsheet you can import into your CRM. Direct CRM delivery is on the roadmap.
How much does it cost?
Every engagement starts with a free sample list, then a paid pilot. Pricing depends on your market and the signals you need.
Is this just another data vendor?
No. Data vendors sell raw records. We deliver qualified leads with a named contact, a reason to call, and a link to the source.
