Spot emerging market trends

High growth micro-trends that were invisible until now. A proprietary taxonomy and advanced activity search break a sector into micro-markets far more granular than any standard classification, so you see a niche accelerating while it is still a niche.

  • Taxonomy built from what companies actually do

  • Define the micro-market in your own words
  • Growth measured from filed accounts
  • Structural or merely cyclical, and why

  • Legal filings combined with press sources
  • Every deal a company has done
  • Which micro-markets attract the investment
  • What other funds are buying, and at what size
  • Watch your sectors and see each move

Find real comparable transactions

Comparables that are genuinely comparable. Legal filings and public sources give near complete transaction coverage, and the precise activity search builds a set that actually resembles your target instead of sharing a sector label with it.

  • Refine by size, country, growth, ownership
  • Parties, date, stake and terms traceable
  • A range that holds up in IC

  • Events as they happen, company by company
  • Aggregate revenue, growth and margin
  • Each company benchmarked against real peers
  • Market context separates outperformance from tailwind
