Browser Extension

đź’ˇ Supported by all chrome browsers including Edge and Arc

The Syfter Browser Extension enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to identify and access key data of companies directly from external websites. This extension is particularly useful for quickly checking if a website matches a company in the Syfter database and, if not, adding the company manually. This saves 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, ensuring you have the most up-to-date understanding of your investments and target companies.

In the “Options” panel of our Browser extension, you are able to customise your panel view. We have pre-set the view to show the slimmer panel, however if you prefer a wider view you are able to toggle this feature to suit your preferences by selecting or deselecting the “slim panel” option.

Note: You can always access detailed step-by-step instructions for the Chrome extension in-app from your user menu.
