Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, screen, and track companies across the life of your programme.
Survey-free tracking
Track the cohort without asking it anything
Funding raised, headcount, filed financials and grant awards for every company you supported, updated from the public record. The impact figure stops depending on survey responses — and picks up the raises companies never announced.
Defensible baselines
Show the change against a baseline you can defend
Set a cohort against the sector and region it sits in, and compare performance before and after support. That is what turns “our companies grew” into an additionality argument that survives a question from a funder — and it works in reverse too, showing a portfolio when a weak year was ecosystem-wide rather than theirs.
Where you work
Put it where your organisation actually works
A Companies API that enriches records inside your own CRM, so staff who will never open another platform still get verified company data on the accounts in front of them.
Common challenges faced by research and innovation services
You ask a cohort to self-report what they raised and how they grew. Some answer late, some never, and some answer optimistically — so the impact figure depends on who replied rather than on what happened.
Defence-adjacent suppliers don’t say defence. Physics has no category of its own. The emerging niche you were set up around is the one thing no official taxonomy has caught up with, so the cohort has to be assembled by reading websites.
Funding goes to the registered company, turnover accrues in a subsidiary, and the research sits somewhere else again. Report on the legal entity and you understate the impact; report on the group and you have to reconstruct it by hand.
A handful of colleagues have logins and everyone else has questions, so lookups queue behind whoever knows the platform. Elsewhere, fifteen people each keep their own collections and exports that nobody ever collates.
The organisation runs on a CRM, and the company intelligence sits in a separate platform most staff never open. Whatever enrichment does happen is manual, or comes from a source nobody quite trusts.
Help your team optimise reporting, uncover new opportunities, and screen partners with confidence.
