The problem
The signal is buried in noise
Thousands of new companies launch every week. Spotting the ones with genuine momentum before they become obvious requires hours of manual research — checking YC batches, ProductHunt launches, cross-referencing LinkedIn and Crunchbase. Most early signals disappear before anyone notices them.
