Signal Type
There are various Signal Types that allow you to filter for different kinds of talent movements:
Type | What it captures | Deal‑sourcing value |
New Company | Talent moves to a brand‑new venture. | Early look at pipeline before seed PR hits. |
New Role | Lateral move into an existing company. | Gauge scaling velocity & leadership upgrades. |
New Fund | Operator spins up or joins an investment firm. | Map co‑investors and potential follow‑on capital |
Searching | Exits without announcing next step. | Stake out stealth founders before rivals do. |
Promotion | Internal step‑up (e.g., VP to C‑level) | Validate bench depth & succession strength. |
Investment | Talent makes an angel or scout cheque. | Surface under‑the‑radar companies via micro‑investments. |
Signal Status
You can also filter by Signal Status to show talents at different points in their lifecycle, which flows chronologically as follows:
→ Live
OR
→ Stealth or Searching → Out of Stealth → Live
Status | Definition | Investor angle |
Stealth | New venture underway but name undisclosed. | Time outreach while competition is low. |
Out of Stealth* | Company name just revealed (status lasts 7 days) | 7‑day exclusivity window to jump on fresh intel. |
Live | Final destination fully public. | Confirm the move; update deal notes/CRM. |
HR | Indicates talent-related moves valuable for recruiting or team-mapping. | Helps Talent Partners filter relevant moves separate from broader deal-sourcing.
|
* Out of Stealth Advantage (ADV): Days between original Stealth/Searching signal and reveal—use it to measure how far ahead you spotted the opportunity. |
Note: Every Friday, last week’s Out of Stealth signals roll off to make room for the new batch; search Live signals with an Advantage score to review historical wins. |
