Our raison d'être

Why did we build this?

Finding your next fund returner needn't be a herculean task

Company Data isn't cutting it

Databases are littered with inadequate company descriptions. Trouble is, If the company has more than one offering we tend to find that these products and services get mashed up into a one liner - rendering semantic search useless

Directories don't allow for search with intent

Because of this flaw, keyword search in directories and their "similar companies" feature didn't ever really stand a chance of delivering value. Which brings us back to square one.

Product Data is where it's at

When you really think about it, a company competes for customers' revenue based on the products and services they have, but the data at this level has been missing from the market for too long, so this is where we come in.

What our Alphas are saying.

The granularity of AlphaLense's analysis is awesome. By breaking down competition at the product level, it's made exploring market opportunities much smoother.

We recently did a competitive landscape to map our space. AlphaLens was not only able to surface the competitors we knew, but brought to light new entrants that had never raised money, and were not on the major databases.
