How Doe monitors funding and M&A activity
CrustdataDoe retrieved deals matching your industry, geography, and deal-size filters — each with company details, investors, and deal terms
Doe classified each deal: customer entering a growth phase, competitor getting resourced, acquisition target, or emerging threat — and filtered out the noise
Doe profiled what each company does, who they compete with, their growth trajectory, and how the deal shifts your market position
Doe produced a brief for each relevant deal: opportunity or threat, what it means for your business, and a suggested next step (reach out, brief the team, or monitor)
SlackDeals ranked by relevance and urgency, each with a one-line implication and recommended action
You found out about competitor funding from a LinkedIn post
The current process is scrolling TechCrunch over coffee, checking Crunchbase when you remember, scanning LinkedIn for fundraising announcements, and still missing half the deals that matter. A competitor raised $50M three weeks ago and you found out when their ads started showing up everywhere. A potential customer closed a Series B and your sales team didn't reach out during the expansion window. The deals that reshape your market are happening constantly, and you're catching them after the window to act has closed.
Even when someone on the team tracks this manually, they're spending 30+ minutes a day scanning, and the signal-to-noise ratio is brutal. 95% of funding announcements aren't relevant to your business, but the 5% that are can be critical if you catch them in time. A new competitor getting resourced, a customer entering a growth phase, a partner becoming an acquisition target. These moments have a shelf life, and by the time they hit your feed organically, competitors have already responded.
