DataFox Brings Private Company Analysis And One-Pagers To Mobile

DataFox, the online research platform that allows anyone to track information about private tech companies, has now brought its service to mobile in the form of a new iOS application. The free app provides DataFox subscribers with access to over 500,000 company one-pager’s, private and public lists, and an events stream detailing recent news on companies tracked, like new hires, turnover, acquisitions, IPOs, new product releases, and more.

As you may recall, DataFox first launched its “intelligence platform as a service” at TechCrunch Disrupt 2014, promising to put the capabilities of professional analysts into the hands of anyone interested in the same sort of information, research and insights. Except, unlike analysts who manually dig for information then enter it into spreadsheets and databases for further analysis, DataFox collects information automatically and in real-time using data-mining and machine learning technologies. It pulls in data from the web, RSS feeds, YouTube and other API partners like CrunchBase, AngelList, LinkedIn, Alexa and more.

It also creates its own data in order to surface new information other providers might not have, like who a firm’s top competitors are, for example.

One mobile, the new app offers many of the same features as the DataFox website, though it doesn’t load up the deeper insights, data tables and graphs on the web client.
