The Edge

Signals the Street isn't watching.

Most screeners stop at price and market cap. We dig into the filings.

How it works

From universe to mandate in three steps.

1

Define your mandate

Set the raise types you cover — ATMs, PIPEs, registered directs — plus sector and size band, so the screen surfaces deals you can win.

2

Screen on forward signals

Surface companies headed for a raise — maturity walls, thin runway, capex outspending cash flow — ranked by how soon they'll need capital.

3

Reach out first

Get to the decision-maker before the next banker — with the capital-need thesis, verified contacts, and filing alerts to time the pitch.
