Founder-led TripWire scan
A TripWire scan is the first practical way to try MarketSignal: give us one target market, and we'll look for companies showing signs of movement and return a short list of useful signals — what changed, why it might matter, and the outreach angle worth testing.
This is not a scraped list or an automated email campaign. It is a focused scan designed to show whether your market has useful commercial movement hiding in plain sight.
Static lists tell you who fits. A TripWire scan shows who is moving.

A founder-led walkthrough of the findings
No automated sales sequence. No newsletter by default. Just a focused look at whether your market has useful signals worth acting on.
The friction
The best time to contact a company is when something has changed.
Most teams wait until a company appears on a list, fills in a form, or shows up in the same intent data as everyone else. TripWire looks earlier: for the commercial movement that suggests a company may be entering a new buying moment.
Lists lose timing
A company can fit your ICP and still have no reason to buy today. Every static list starts going stale the moment it is exported.
Personalisation is not a buying reason
Referencing a random detail is not the same as showing why a conversation makes sense now.
The strongest outreach starts with change
TripWire looks for the movement behind the account: what changed, why it might matter, and what angle follows.
Who it helps
Built for people who need better reasons to start conversations.
Founder-led sales
For founders who need to find better-fit accounts without relying on generic lead lists or empty personalisation.

Strategic hiring

Recent funding
New capital means pressure to scale. Signals a shift from conservation to aggressive growth.
Tech stack shift
Detecting removals or additions of competing or complementary software in their stack.
M&A activity
Mergers create friction. Friction creates demand for integration and consolidation services.
Product launch
New product lines require new go-to-market strategies and operational support.
