Deal sourcing

Venture Capital

Find emerging companies early, through thesis fit and the first signals of traction.

Use cases

Find companies before the market does withunparalleled private market intelligence.

01

Find emerging and stealth startups

Every company being formed, the week it is filed. Latency reads new incorporations and capital increases straight from the registry, including rounds nobody announced, and identifies who is behind each one, so promising startups surface before anyone writes about them.

  • Every new incorporation from official filings
  • Unannounced rounds visible in the registry
  • Who is behind it and what they built
  • What it really does, from its own channels
  • Set the watch once by thesis
02

Monitor hiring, traffic, news and social activity

Beyond the accounts, the signals that show whether a company is actually moving. Latency brings hiring, web traffic, news and social activity together with the financial data, so momentum is visible long before it reaches a set of filed accounts.

  • Open roles, functions and hiring pace
  • Web traffic as a read on demand
  • News, launches and company announcements
  • Social audience growth and engagement
  • Every signal on one timeline with the numbers
03

Find startups that match your investment thesis

Write your thesis as a search. Latency filters on what a thesis is actually made of, the round a company has raised, the shape of its team, the business model and the micro-market it operates in, then returns the companies that fit.

  • Funding filters read from registry filings
  • Team filters: background, size, seniority, hiring
  • Business model taken from what it sells
  • Micro-market granularity, not broad categories
  • Leave the search running for new matches
04

Understand the full founder picture

See a founder’s whole history, not the version on their profile. Latency links every company a person has incorporated, run or held a stake in, current and past, with what happened to each one, so you know who you are backing before the first meeting.

  • Every company founded or held, with dates
  • How each one ended, read from filings
  • How those companies actually performed
  • Ventures in parallel and repeat partners
  • Verifiable rather than self-reported
05

Map startup ecosystems in seconds

See the whole market a startup is entering, not just the other startups in it. Latency’s granular activity search finds every company doing the same thing, venture-backed newcomers and long-established operators alike, so the competitive picture is complete.

  • Every company in the activity, at any age
  • Incumbents included, with their filed numbers
  • Who is funded, bootstrapped or group-owned
  • Real market size added up from accounts
  • Where the startup sits, and who leads
06

Monitor your portfolio companies

Keep every portfolio company under watch without asking them for an update. Latency picks up their filings, their rounds, their hiring and their traffic, and tells you which companies have moved and which have gone quiet.

  • New accounts checked against what you were told
  • Follow-on rounds straight from the registry
  • Hiring and traffic as an independent read
  • Early warnings: departures, traffic, late accounts
  • Competitors moving in the same market
07

Reach founders and decision-makers

Get to the founder directly, with something to say. Latency identifies who holds the company and who runs it, from registry filings and professional media, and gives you their email or phone where available, along with the history that makes a first message land.

  • Founders and shareholders taken from filings
  • Who decides: stakes, board seats, investors
  • Direct email and phone where available
  • Previous companies, exits and past employers
  • Shared ground for a warmer route in
