Competitor monitoring: catch funding, hiring spikes and product launches
Buying intent often shows up in public LinkedIn signals before any ad spend. A Series B announcement means $5-30M of fresh budget. A hiring spike of 10+ engineers means scaling pain. A new C-level hire means new vendor preferences. These signals are perfect outbound triggers — but only if you catch them within 48 hours of the announcement.

/triggers/new → name the watch → paste up to 50 competitor or target-account company URLs → pick which trigger types to detect → save. Cron runs daily, alerts appear in /triggers.
The 7 trigger types we detect
Each fires on natural-language patterns we tuned against ~100 example posts:
- Funding announced — "raised $X", "Series A/B/C", "secured funding"
- C-level change — new CEO/CTO/CFO/etc
- Hiring spike — "we're hiring", "N open roles"
- Work anniversary — relationship-building hook
- Office expansion — new geo opening
- Product launch — "introducing", "now available", "GA release"
- Layoffs — restructuring signal
What it costs
100 credits per active watch per day, scanned across all the companies in that watch. A typical watch with 25 companies + all 7 trigger types = $0.10/day = $36/year. Pause anytime.
