How can I build accurate indicators around a company's revenue growth and financial performance to source new target investments?

Lytfoot can:

  • educate private equity clients on how they can use consumer transactional data to solve this problem.
  • identify which data providers are best suited for each use case, including providing intelligence on vendor panel sizes, underlying data sources and panel diversity.
🚀

What other sources can I use to identify high-growth companies?

Lytfoot can:

  • introduce its private equity clients to sentiment data vendors, which scrape media outlets and company websites to monitor positive/negative brand sentiment, as well as events that indicate growth (like fundraising, new product launches, market expansion, etc.)
  • provide anonymised intelligence on the vendors that its clients' peer groups find useful, and those that lack accurate signals after testing.
