What are the Alert Types in Company Alerts? 

1. Funding - New money means new funding for initiatives. Venture Capitalists don’t invest their money to watch it sit in the bank. Funding Alerts have the Amount of money secured and the Series Type.  We also detail the investors participating in the round.
2. Personnel – New executives come with new agendas, processes, and software biases. On top of providing the Name, Title,  Department, and Level of the new hire, Personnel alerts will note if the new hire is an Internal promotion on an External Hire. We also share the start date of the employee and their previous employer. 
3. Mergers and Acquisitions – When companies are acquired, it’s a lot like Noah’s ark – there are two of everything. All is put under review to see what is staying and what is going. Mergers and Acquisitions will note both the acquired company and acquiring company. 
4. Corporate Expansion – New markets require new go-to-market strategies including new personnel, facilities, and administration.
5. Products and Services – New products need fresh advertising, branding, and marketing. They also need new channels and sellers.
6. Legal Issues – Companies that make it into the news for legal reasons want to tell customers and shareholders they have a plan of resolution.
7. Competitive Intelligence  – These are announcements about new contracts or customers that the business is promoting.  
8. Investment and Financing – Companies that receive loans or financing often need to use this money very quickly. 
9. Real Estate – Changing or adding locations is the consummate sign of growth. New employees and new office space means new investments.
10. Awards – Companies want to show leadership that transcends profit and loss. These are often pet projects for key executives.
11. Earnings, Performance, Dividends – Public companies are beholden to stockholders and poor earnings often means changes are on the horizon.
12. Partnerships and Joint Ventures – New partnerships require new personnel, process, and software to manage the pursuit

Categorization: Our QA process starts with the sourcing methodology in that we have 12 separate feeds based on the alert type. We created filters specific to the alert type to ensure we are providing relevant content. 

Accuracy:  We constantly monitor these feeds for new alerts and set the limit at which we can accept a article to1-day old.  We do not publish an alert about the same company within a 48-hour window.

Sourcing: We don’t accept content from social media or directly from the corporate website. We only monitor reputable news outlets that are publicly available.

Company Matching: Our AI Agents identify pertinent parts from the article, but the website must match a record within our company database. This prevents us from publishing mismatched data.

Contact Matching: We perform a "site-search" and assign a source URL if we find the contact mentioned on the company website. This is also where we find compliant contact data for the record.
