Strategic Signals Integration 📡

As many of you already know, Specter offers a unique product called Strategic Signals.

Strategic Signals delivers unparalleled insights by monitoring the online and social behavior of leading investors and industry insiders.

With the release of the Investor Database, we also connected all investor profiles with Strategic Signals, so you can see who they are talking to right now.

Additionally, you can now request to track specific Investors directly from Strategic Signals and the Investor Database. This new feature provides you with the opportunity to closely follow the activities of key investors of interest, ensuring you never miss critical insights or movements.

All-New Table Design 📊

We used the release of the Investor Database to redesign our table view across the platform. This was a challenging task, not only from a design perspective but also from a UX perspective.

• Custom Columns: Choose and visualize only the columns and data fields that matter to you.

• Drag & Drop: Easily rearrange columns to fit your workflow.Quick Sort: Sort any column instantly to organize your data.

• Bulk Actions: Select multiple columns and take actions like pushing to CRM, adding to a list, or exporting.

  
  

New HQ Locations and Filtering 🌍

Let’s be honest here—filtering by location or region is a real pain across most platforms and databases.

We spent two months building our proprietary HQ Location model, which allows us to remove virtually all friction associated with searching for companies in specific cities and regions, ensuring consistent HQ location details across all our products and data feeds.

Say hello to our updated HQ Location filters:

• Precise Filtering: Search for companies in specific cities, states or regions with greater accuracy.

• Consistent Results: Enjoy accurate and consistent HQ Locations across all products and data feeds.

Note: Please review your Saved Searches for any marked as Deprecated or Outdated. Update to the new "HQ Location" to ensure you're receiving all relevant signals and notifications!

Dynamic Funding Date Filters 📅

We’ve added new filtering options for funding dates to give you more flexibility:

• Rolling Timespan: Filter by funding date within a rolling timespan to quickly spot recent transactions.

• Specific Date Ranges: Narrow down results to specific date ranges.Before/After Date: Easily find funding events that occurred before or after a given date.

As always, we'd love to hear from you. Please do reply with any feedback 😄
