Questions
How fresh is the data?
Pulse keeps itself current automatically as companies report, so new rounds appear without anyone having to announce them.
How is this different from other startup databases?
Most databases rely on what companies and investors choose to announce. Pulse is built on official UK company records rather than press releases, so it includes unannounced rounds, with every investor's estimated position and a confidence rating on each valuation.
Where does the data come from?
From official UK company records, which Pulse cleans, matches, values and connects with its own intelligence engine. Amounts and valuations are Pulse estimates: a strong guide, not audited figures.
