Invention signal

Here’s what our patent signals reveal

Most deep-tech startups don’t begin with a pitch deck -
they start with an invention. We find them at that point.

Timing advantage

Detect spinouts before they reach investors

We identify high-signal patent activity weeks or months before funding or incorporation - giving you a true informational edge.

Where does your data come from?

We pull from a mix of public, reputable sources, including official company registries, professional profiles, project/activity feeds (e.g., code repositories), and company websites. We cross-check and triangulate founders across multiple sources before we publish it, and we timestamp every record so you can see when it was last verified.

How frequently is data updated?

We ensure data freshness by updating our datasets continuously, providing you with the most up-to-date insights.

Can I import my own data?

Absolutely, our platform allows for seamless import and integration of your data to personalize and enhance your sourcing engine.

Can I automatically add leads to my CRM?

Yes, with our integrations feature, you can streamline adding leads directly to your CRM system.

How are you different from other data providers?

Evertrace stands apart by providing the highest possible coverage ratio in real time by continuously tracking all relevant founders and companies. We do this by going deep on traditional sources, while continuously adding new unconventional sources, ensuring a constantly evolving product that keeps getting better and sharper.
