Most databases show companies only once they are established — Orbis and S&P after filings, Crunchbase after funding, ZoomInfo after sales activity. By then, competitors are already in the race. What’s missing is a radar at inception: incorporation plus first hires.
This segment delivers just that — capturing newly registered companies, enriched with hiring and website signals, mapped to custom taxonomies. Consultants, SaaS vendors, and foresight units gain pipeline creation months or years before others, with clear filters to exclude shells and noise.
Track registry incorporations daily by country and sector.
Enrich with headcount signals and live website checks.
Tag into emerging/custom taxonomies for relevance.

For every new entrant, you receive:
Incorporation details: official date, age, and registry status.
Operational signals: website activity and first hires (12m/24m).
Headcount metrics: current employees and growth in the past 12 months.
Taxonomy tags: mapped to client or web-derived custom categories.
Early Growth Score: composite measure combining age, hires, and digital activity.
Roll-ups: sector and geography aggregations for foresight strategy.

Your questions on this segment, answered
How do you ensure data freshness when tracking firms less than two years old?
Data is refreshed weekly. Incorporations are updated daily, and operational signals like hiring or website status are verified continuously to keep scores current.
Can sector-specific taxonomy (like CleanTech or AgriTech) be applied to early entrants automatically?
Yes. We enrich new companies with sector tags derived from websites and mapped to client or curated taxonomies, making early entrants comparable to mature firms.
How do you differentiate between companies that are active and those that are dormant “shells”?
By combining incorporation data with operational signals. If a company shows no hires and no active domain after 12–18 months, it is flagged as non-viable.
How does the Early Growth Score combine signals like hiring, age, and digital presence?
The score is a weighted index (0–100) that blends company age, headcount evolution, and website signals. It highlights entrants with momentum while filtering out dormant shells.
Can early-stage firms with only a few employees still be scored reliably?
Yes. Even very small firms generate detectable signals—new hires, headcount growth, or an active domain. These are weighted alongside age to compute an Early Growth Score.
How do you identify very young companies before they appear in traditional databases?
We track incorporations daily across countries and enrich them with early operational signals like first hires and website activity. This allows us to surface companies months or even years before they show up in Orbis, Crunchbase, or Zoominfo.
