InvestorSense helps investors discover and evaluate emerging companies
In September Techvibes reported that Microsoft's Dennis Pilarinos was leaving Microsoft after 9 years of service culminating with the lead role at the Microsoft Development Center in Vancouver.
Yesterday Pilarinos, along with co-founders Eric Fleischman and Mark Bice, quietly launched his first post-Microsoft project to the public - InvestorSense.
InvestorSense helps investors discover and evaluate emerging companies that are aligned to their investment strategies. Think Crunchbase meets Angel List, but based on your personal criteria and tapped into your social graph via Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter.
InvestorSense has been built on beta version user feedback and the current public version includes a much improved dashboard and "Discovery" with a notification system that emails you with matches to companies based on specific criteria.
At the moment, InvestorSense notification options will alert you when:
- when one of your Facebook friends likes a company's fan page
- when one of the people you follow on Twitter starts following a new compan
- when a company reaches a specified Facebook "like" count or Twitter "follower" count
You can also receive daily summary notifications of all new companies added to InvestorSense (as well as the Crunchbase database).
Keep in mind that Investorsense is still a work in progress. They will be continuing to add additional data sources, improving the user experience and adding a set of requested features moving forward.
