What is Dealroom Signal?

Rather than creating a score about a startup’s general quality or performance, Dealroom Signal is specifically aimed at surfacing the most promising upcoming funding opportunities. The algorithm is therefore calibrated to find companies showing strong traction and which are predicted to be lining up for a funding event, or that are round-ready.

How are different components calculated?

Dealroom signal is the average of these four inputs: completeness, founding team, growth rate, and timing.

Completeness: Based on the completeness of the profile and contextual data (does the company fit into segments of interest).

Founding team: Looks at previous performance, experience, serial founders and education.

Growth rate: Looks at employee growth in the company, and looks at product growth.

Timing: Looking into if the startup is likely to raise its next round soon. For funded startups, the typical pattern shows the score resets to zero post-funding, peaks at one year, then gradually declines. The exact timing and shape of this pattern vary by stage and are based on Dealroom’s proprietary timing benchmarks between funding rounds. (more details).

Personalising your dashboard

If you’ve never personalized your dashboard, the cards will appear automatically at the top of your dashboard. If you have already personalized your dashboard before, you will just need to click on “Dashboard Settings” and then “Reset my dashboard” and the cards will automatically be added.

Setting up your personalised alerts

You can easily create alerts that use this algorithm in combination with your personal preferences. Say you’re looking for UK-based seed stage opportunities in fintech. Simply make the query, then click on Save & Export. You’ll now receive alerts in your notifications.

You can also enable daily email notifications via your account settings.
