Private Market Intelligence

Finding great companies shouldn't rely on luck.

Most firms still depend on referrals, cold outreach, banker relationships, and databases built on yesterday's data. By the time an opportunity is visible to everyone — it's already competitive.

Signal Arc continuously monitors companies for measurable business momentum — so your team spends less time searching and more time closing.

The Institutional Workflow

Three steps from public data to signed deal.

1

Detect

The platform ingests 11 public data sources nightly — SEC Form D, patents, contracts, news, new business registrations. Every event becomes a typed signal with a strength score.

2

Score

Signals are weighted into a composite 0–100 BuzzIntel Score per company, recomputed every 6 hours. Your morning digest leads with the highest-conviction targets.

3

Act

Generate an AI investment memo, pull the executive team, move the card through your deal pipeline, and sync the company directly into your CRM — all from one screen.

Proprietary Algorithm

Quantify Momentum with BuzzIntel Score™

Each company receives a composite 0–100 score based on weighted public signals, recomputed every 6 hours. Companies above 70 are High Conviction — they carry 3 or more independent growth signals from separate source categories. Your morning digest surfaces them first.

Infrastructure & Access Control

security

Enterprise Security

All data in transit and at rest is encrypted. Each client's data is scoped at the query layer — no cross-tenant leakage is possible by design.

manage_accounts

Role-Based Access

Three seat roles: Owner (full access + seat management), Analyst (search, pipeline, memos, alerts), Viewer (read-only). Seat limits enforced at the license level.

cloud_done

Private Tenant Environment

Each firm gets its own slug-isolated namespace. Your watchlists, saved searches, deal pipeline, and alert preferences are never shared with or visible to other clients.

HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? arrow_forward
What is the BuzzIntel Score and how is it computed? expand_more
The BuzzIntel Score is a composite 0–100 signal score computed from weighted public data events: SEC Form D filings (25 pts), government contract awards (20 pts), hiring spikes (up to 30 pts), patent grants (up to 10 pts), news mentions (up to 20 pts), and new entity registrations (5 pts). Scores above 70 indicate 3 or more independent growth signals from separate source categories. Scores recompute every 6 hours as new data arrives.
What data sources does Signal Arc use? expand_more
Signal Arc aggregates data from 11 continuously updated sources covering SEC filings, government contracts, patent activity, employment trends, regional business registrations, economic indicators, and hourly news — all processed and scored automatically so your team acts on intelligence, not raw data.
How long does onboarding take? expand_more
Under 5 minutes for initial access. We configure your firm's slug, target states, seat list, and alert preferences in a single setup call. Your portal is live the same day. The 30-day hypercare period covers custom signal rule tuning, saved search setup, and team onboarding.
Can we integrate with our existing CRM? expand_more
Signal Arc has a built-in deal pipeline and one-click sync to BuzzCRM. For external CRMs (Salesforce, DealCloud, HubSpot), a REST API with seat token authentication is available. All company data, executive contacts, and signal history are accessible via JSON endpoints. Custom integrations are available on Enterprise plans.
Is the demo conducted under NDA? expand_more
Yes. We conduct private demos 1:1 using your actual target geography and investment thesis. You'll see real companies and live signals from your states during the call. NDA available on request before the demo.
