Collect
Structured public and licensed sources, authorized operator files and manual observations enter a controlled ingestion pipeline.
Data methodology
Evidence in. Explainable signals out.
Capital Radar separates observations, inferred indicators and confidence so users can investigate a signal without mistaking it for a confirmed event.
Normalize
Names, locations, URLs, stages, sectors and dates are converted into consistent formats before matching.
Resolve
Source records are connected to canonical companies, investors, LP organizations and funds. Ambiguous matches can be held for review.
Score
Transparent component scores combine relevant evidence. Missing data lowers confidence or receives a neutral treatment rather than becoming a confirmed negative.
Interpret
Capital Radar produces a plain-English hypothesis, supporting evidence and explicit verification language.
Correct
Human corrections and overrides are preserved so later imports do not silently replace reviewed information.
Signal families
What the scores mean—and what they do not.
Fundraising Radar
Uses successor timing, vintage, activity, strategy, performance context and source confidence to prioritize manager research. It does not confirm a fundraise.
Investor and capital matching
Uses sector, stage, geography, mandate, activity, similar-company and capacity context to rank possible relevance. It does not confirm appetite.
Startup momentum
Uses financing, stage, investor validation, hiring evidence, company context and confidence to prioritize company research.
Hiring signals
Uses unique dated job records, rolling time windows and source corroboration. Repeated listings are deduplicated before job volume is interpreted.
Market heat
Uses company, funding, investor and fund activity to compare similarly covered sectors. Coverage differences must be considered.
Confidence is part of the answer
A high score with weak evidence should not be treated like a well-corroborated signal. Capital Radar displays confidence and component context so users can decide what must be verified next.
Corrections matter
Private-market records change and sources can disagree. Reviewed corrections and overrides are preserved instead of being silently replaced by a later import.
