Mergeflow

At this early stage, Mergeflow developed analytics software for hedge fund investors. This included some of what today is called "alternative data" (news, blogs, and social media). But then the financial crisis raged, and customers started to skimp. Mergeflow's small team was forced to rethink and pivot the entire company. Eventually, after exploring all kinds of options and possibilities, they met with a team at Siemens Corporate Technology that wanted to automate and scale some of their technology scouting activities. This project began as a proof-of-concept, but Mergeflow's team quickly realized that this was exactly what they wanted to do all along: The perfect combination of "building cutting-edge analytics software" and "helping solve fascinating, and often somewhat hidden, challenges across a wide variety of tech sectors". Today, Mergeflow's software is used by 20+ companies worldwide to discover and stay informed on emerging technologies, companies, ideas, experts, and new markets. Mergeflow operates as a bootstrapped and distributed company. We are grateful to our partners
