FirstRain: The Business Monitoring Engine™

Searching For the Keys to The Business Web

The average business professional spends about 25% of their day searching for needed information (Basex), much of this from the consumer Web: a noisy, tangled mess of hundreds of millions of unique sites and billions of pages—more than 50% of which is unprofessional, duplicate or spam.

So where do business professionals go for actionable, high quality information? Traditional news aggregators and research solutions are too expensive and complicated for today's market. Niche solutions are helpful for limited needs such as PR or lead generation, but fall short of meeting the broad market intelligence needs of your organization.

Welcome to FirstRain! FirstRain's patented technology unlocks The Business Web™, crawling and extracting a wide variety of high-value business events (news, blog posts, press releases, company and people information, government filings, commentary and more) and delivers it with extraordinary precision into the workflow of business professionals who need information to power their business decisions.
