Briter’s Signals
Briter’s Signals: Every signal, to stay on top of the developments that matter
Briter’s Signals monitor news and developments from across the web, helping your team keep track of companies, funding, investors and markets without having to search for updates manually.
News is collected, processed and reviewed by Briter’s analysts before relevant updates are matched to the topics, companies or markets you follow.
Signals can then be delivered through the channels your team already uses, making it easier to stay informed as markets change.

A verified, automated approach to monitoring the markets
Keeping up with companies, investors, funding announcements and market developments can require teams to search across news sites, newsletters, company announcements and other sources every day. Important updates can be easy to miss, while the information you find may need to be checked and put into context before it can be used.
Briter’s Signals bring this process together by monitoring relevant sources, identifying new developments and matching them to the topics, companies, sectors and markets your team follows. Each signal is checked using Briter’s technology, analyst review and researched company and funding data before it is delivered to you.
Reviewed and enriched with Briter data
Signals are not simply collected from the web. Relevant developments are processed and reviewed, with information cross-referenced against Briter's researched database where applicable. This helps identify duplicates, add context and distinguish useful updates from information that needs further checking.
Matched to your areas of interest
Choose what you want to monitor, whether that is a sector, country, investment stage, company, investor or portfolio. Queries you can run in Briter Intelligence can be used to define the topics you want to follow, so your signals reflect your team's specific research or investment priorities.
Delivered where you work
Receive signals through the tools your team already uses, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, email or a webhook connected to your own systems. This means relevant updates can reach your team directly rather than requiring everyone to regularly log into another platform.

Stay updated on what changes in Briter Intelligence
Signals can monitor the views and data you already use in Briter Intelligence, not just news from across the web. Set up alerts around a saved search, watchlist, company, investor or market, and receive updates when something changes, such as a new funding deal, a company update or a new entrant that matches your criteria.
You can follow these updates directly within Briter Intelligence, or connect Signals to the tools your team already uses. This gives you the flexibility to monitor your markets within the platform or bring relevant updates into your existing workflows through email, Slack, Microsoft Teams or your own systems.
Cadence
Choose when and how to be notified
Choose how frequently you want to receive updates for each query and channel. Receive important developments in real time, get a daily round-up of relevant updates, or review them in a weekly newsletter.
Signals also help manage the volume of updates. Briter assesses each signal against your preferences and determines whether it warrants an immediate notification or should be included in your next digest, so your team can stay informed without receiving an alert for every single development.
