What We Track
LinkTR monitors six categories of competitive signals across public web, news, job boards, filings, and social platforms. Our crawler runs 24/7 and surfaces signals within hours of detection.
Funding & Financials
Fundraising rounds, valuations, SEC filings, and M&A activity detected from public disclosures.
Product Launches
New product announcements, feature releases, and public changelog entries from company properties.
Leadership Changes
C-suite appointments, departures, board changes sourced from LinkedIn, press releases, and filings.
Hiring Signals
Job posting volume trends, role categories, and location clusters that reveal strategic direction.
Partnerships & Deals
Integration announcements, co-marketing campaigns, OEM agreements, and strategic partnerships.
Web & SEO Signals
Site traffic trends, keyword ranking changes, ad spend estimation, and landing page modifications.
Intelligence Feed
Every signal in your feed includes a Confidence Score and an Impact Rating to help you quickly triage what requires attention.
Confidence Scores
Confidence reflects how certain our system is that an event occurred, based on the number of corroborating sources, source reliability, and signal recency.
High confidence — Corroborated by 3+ tier-1 sources (major press, official filings, company blog). Act with confidence.
Medium confidence — 1–2 reliable sources or indirect signals. Validate before escalating internally.
Low confidence — Early signal, single source, or inferred activity. Use as a leading indicator, not a fact.
Impact Analysis
The impact rating evaluates potential strategic relevance to your watchlist using signal type, company stage, market context, and historical precedent. Rated as Critical, High, Medium, or Low.
Critical signals (e.g., a direct competitor raising a large round) are surfaced via real-time push notifications regardless of your digest schedule.

FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about LinkTR.
Our crawler runs continuously and processes signals in near real-time. Most signals appear in your feed within 2–6 hours of the underlying event.

LinkTR aggregates from 40,000+ public sources: news outlets, company blogs, SEC/EDGAR filings, LinkedIn public data, job boards, GitHub repositories, domain registrations, patent filings, and social media.
