Browser Extension

The Browser Extension allows you to identify and access key company data directly from external websites. It’s supported by Chrome, and all Chromium-browsers including Edge and Arc. This tool is particularly useful for quickly checking if a website matches a company in your platform database and, if not, adding the company manually.

The Browser Extension allows you to save time in gathering vital information like company size, funding rounds, or key contacts; providing an easy way to cross-reference information with the data in your instance, and ensuring you have the most up-to-date understanding of your investments and target companies.

You can change the extension display within the “Options” menu. By default “Slim panel” option is on, however if you prefer a wider view you can toggle this feature off
