Scan For Portfolio News Weekly

Your portfolio companies are constantly in the news. A company announces a new round. A major customer win hits the press. An acquisition offer is reported. A weekly news scanner can monitor public sources for mentions of portfolio companies, group the results by company, and surface material events like these. This data can complement what is tracked in Standard Metrics, enriching portfolio reviews, LP reporting, and more.
