Why sales teams switch

⚡

Know before TechCrunch covers it

The best sales window opens the moment a company closes a round, before competitors see the press release. Form D filings hit FlareSight within hours of SEC acceptance, giving you a head start measured in days.

🔍

Find rounds that never make the news

73% of seed-stage raises receive no press coverage at all. Crunchbase misses them entirely. FlareSight indexes every Form D, so your prospect list includes companies your competitors have never heard of.

🎯

Filter by stage, sector, and geography

Set your criteria once: round size, industry, state, date range. FlareSight returns a precise list of newly funded companies that match your ICP, ready to work without manual research.
