Find Companies Before the Round Is Announced

AlphaScout reads public sources around the world every day and turns what it finds into one ranked list of early companies, each tied to the evidence behind it.

Hidden Gems

Every company gets a gem score from 0 to 100, built from independent evidence rather than hype. Only new launches qualify: a company already in an accelerator or fund portfolio, or whose website has been online for years, never makes the list, because other investors have already seen it.

  • A freshly ranked list every morning
  • The reason behind every score, rule by rule, with links to the original sources
  • Labels such as Just Launched, Developer Traction, Verified Revenue, Early Raise and Under the Radar
  • Filters for sector, country, region and business model

Company Profiles

When several sources mention the same company, AlphaScout links them into one profile, so the full picture sits on one page instead of ten browser tabs.

  • Website, description, sector, business model and customer type
  • A timeline of every signal: launches, filings, hires, batches and press
  • When the company was first seen, so you know how early you are
  • Full-text search and filters across every company found

Signal Feed

The raw feed behind the rankings: accelerator batches, US Form D filings, first job posts, product launches, open-source projects and funding news, each tied to the company behind it.

  • Updated many times a day
  • Filter by kind of signal, country and date
  • Every entry links to where it was published

Latest Releases

Every product launch, directory debut, AI model, MCP server and open-source project the engine catches, with the company behind it.

  • One entry per company: its latest release
  • Filter by kind of release, country, region and time window
  • See at a glance which releases come from Hidden Gems

AI Scout

Ask questions like “Which fintech companies in Southeast Asia raised a first round this month?” The AI Scout searches AlphaScout, explains what it found and links every company it mentions.

  • Answers grounded in AlphaScout data, not guesses from the open web
  • Saves companies to your shortlist and opens filtered views for you
  • Finds comparable companies and sizes up a market in seconds

02 · Research

Go From a Name to a View, Faster

Once a company catches your eye, AlphaScout does the first pass of research for you, and shows its sources so you can check the work.

AI Dossiers

One click writes a structured memo from the evidence we hold on a company. Every traction claim links to its source, and the memo says plainly when evidence is thin.

  • Product, customers and business model, traction, backing, market and competitors
  • Risks to weigh and questions to ask on a first call
  • A confidence rating based on how much evidence there is
  • Download as a clean A4 PDF to share with your partners

Companies Like This

Every company page lists close comparables: companies with a similar sector, business model, customers and market, or a product that reads alike even when no keyword is shared, ranked by how closely they match.

  • The reasons each company matches, in plain words
  • A fast way to map a market around one company you like
  • Also available in the AI Scout and the API

Funding in Any Language

Funding news is read in the language it was published in, whether French, German, Turkish, Japanese or Portuguese. AlphaScout pulls out the round, the amount and the investors, and writes a one-line English summary.

  • Funding history on every company page
  • Amounts in the original currency and in US dollars
  • US Form D and crowdfunding (Form C) filings alongside the news

Thesis Matching

Write your investment thesis in a few sentences. Every morning, each new company is scored from 0 to 100 against it with a short reason, and strong fits arrive in your inbox.

  • Up to 20 theses per workspace
  • Optional filters for sector, country, region, business model and gem score
  • Strong fits (70 and above) sent by e-mail
  • Rescore on demand when you change your thesis

Momentum Tracking

For every company we track, AlphaScout reads the numbers that show real use: GitHub stars, npm and PyPI downloads, open roles on its own job board and its place in Chrome's ranking of the most visited websites. Growth of 50% or more in two weeks is flagged, and it counts in the gem score.

  • Two weeks of history from the first day, not after months of collecting
  • A trend line for every metric on the company page
  • Website checks: payments, pricing, sign-in, docs and the tools a domain uses

Global Coverage

Coverage goes well beyond Silicon Valley: accelerators and fund portfolios, launch platforms, company registries, job boards, AI and open-source registries, and startup press across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

  • Public sources only, collected responsibly
  • Regional startup press in many languages
  • A coverage map of the sources we read in each country
