Deal signals arrive as headcount, not as headlines.
60M+ companies with funding, leadership change and hiring behind each one — so a sourcing list is built from what a company is doing this month rather than from the last time somebody updated a database.
Teams already building on the graph.
Platforms and businesses shipping their own products on ZipLabs data.
Sourcing from a record of last quarter.
By the time a company is easy to find, the interesting part of its story already happened.
The database updates on a cycle
A quarterly refresh means the leadership page, the headcount and the funding line are each true as of a different day. A sourcing screen built on that is archaeology.
You are backing a team you cannot see
Who actually works there, how senior they are, where they came from. The thesis is about people, and the record you screen on describes an entity.
Portfolio monitoring is somebody's spreadsheet
An analyst checks a list of companies by hand until the week they are busy. The departure that mattered was in that week, and nobody found out until the board call.
A pipeline that watches instead of waiting.
Each of these turns a company record from something you look up into something that tells you when it changed.

A record that reports its own changes
Profiles refresh continuously and companies are monitored rather than rebuilt on a cycle. What reaches your screen is not a newer file, it is a list of what moved.

Headcount by function, not one number
Forty engineers and eight in sales is a different company from eight and forty, at identical headcount. Department composition and its direction of travel is the screen that separates them.

A thesis expressed as a screen
Size, function mix, growth rate, geography and what changed recently, in one query. The list comes back with the reason attached, so an analyst starts at the argument rather than at the name.

Portfolio monitoring that does not depend on an analyst
Register the companies you hold and the changes come to you — a departure, a shrinking function, a leadership move. The ones that matter reach a partner in the week they happen.

Two names run the pitch; forty people build the thing. Seniority mix and career history across the whole team is the part of a diligence pack that usually gets assembled by hand.
Screen in bulk, resolve on demand.
The dataset powers your own screening; the APIs answer the company an analyst just typed in that nothing has ever asked about before.
Company Dataset
Start here to run your own screens over 60M+ companies joined to the people inside them, refreshed on the cadence you set.
Company Search
Start here to find accounts by what just changed — funding, leadership, hiring against a function — rather than by a static attribute.
Company Enrichment
Start here for the single company an analyst is looking at now, filled in while they are still on the screen.
People Search
Start here for the team — who is there, how senior, and which companies they were at before this one.
Public record, resolved responsibly.
Everything here comes from information companies and people published deliberately, resolved and validated in our own graph rather than resold. That is why a field traces to where it came from, carries a confidence score, and can be corrected when you tell us it is wrong.

What a deal team
asks first
Do you have revenue for private companies?
No, and it is worth being blunt about it. What exists here is the observable layer — funding, leadership, headcount by department and how it is moving, hiring, and the people themselves. Anyone selling you private revenue is modelling it, and you should ask them how before you screen on it.
How early does a signal appear?
As early as the behaviour is visible. A team that starts hiring against a new function, or a senior person who joins, shows up when it happens rather than when it is announced — which is the whole reason to screen on activity instead of on filings.
Can we monitor a fixed list rather than search?
Yes, and for a portfolio that is the more useful shape. Register the companies and the changes are pushed to you as they are observed, so nobody has to remember to check.
What coverage do you have outside the large markets?
The graph is global at 60M+ companies, and depth varies by market the way it does for everybody. We scope it with you against the geographies you actually invest in, rather than quoting a single number that flatters the average.
Can we serve this inside our own product?
Yes — that is what the dataset arrangement is for, and several of the platforms on this site are doing exactly that. Terms, volumes and regions are agreed with you.
Run your screen against the graph.
Describe the companies you are looking for. We will show you what comes back and what changed at each of them last month.
