Investor Interest Signals
Specter tracks the online and social behaviour of leading investors and industry insiders. We are the only ones in the market to predict future funding rounds, mergers and acquisitions, and partnerships.
How it Works
We filter thousands of social interactions to surface only the most meaningful signals:
Who’s showing interest?
We score signals based on who is engaging — the seniority, position, and relevance of the individual matter.What type of interaction?
A LinkedIn connection? High signal. A Twitter follow? Weaker, but still tracked. We focus on actions that indicate real-world intent.Context matters.
We combine these signals with what we know from Company Signals and Talent Signals — funding history, growth metrics, career moves — to assess whether this interest suggests an upcoming funding round or valuation shift.Timing is everything.
If a company hasn’t raised recently but is attracting new investor attention, it’s a prime candidate to appear in your Investor Interest Signals feed.
