Totally fair. The value is just that it's built and working, you get the data in real time without having to set anything up yourself.
It's definitely vibecodeable but there's a decent amount of edge cases and ongoing maintenance that add up. I'm sure an actual engineer could do it way better. I just wanted the product, couldn't find one at a reasonable price, so I built it.
Yeah been thinking about that. A delayed public feed or an API with a lag makes sense. The real-time piece is where the paid value is so anything older than a few weeks/months could be opened up
Built it myself. The filing structure is somewhat consistent enough to parse programmatically, then an LLM handles the unstructured parts (with a lot of trial and error)
The explore page is free and always will be. The main site shows real time changes too, just capped at a few recent ones. The $50 is for the full feed, alerts, search, comp data. Comparable to other sales intel tools but I hear you on letting people try more before paying. Gonna work on that.
Agreed, the big providers like Bloomberg cover this space with way more depth. I'm building for the teams that can't justify those budgets (small sales teams, independent recruiters, solo advisors)
you are absolutely right - filings have a ton of signals beyond just the exec changes. Market entries, risk factor changes, material agreements. Lot of room to expand.
I originally built it to track competitive moves in a specific sector. Turns out sales teams and recruiters get the most value from it as new exec hires are a strong outreach signal
The 8-K text gets run through an LLM to extract the structured fields. It handles the variation in format pretty well. For amendments, the system picks up the amended filing and updates the record — the comp figures sometimes only appear in the amendment.
