I posted analysis of one company in a Facebook growth hacks group and on my Linkedin wall. Both had great responses and people messaged me and asked me to post this daily. So I decided to make it a like a blog post and do analysis of 10 companies daily. This will have improvements going forward but its a start. Objective of this analysis is to identify “intent” opportunities or say find out when is the right time to reach out a company based on their recent activity and existing technology usage. If we can optimise our timings while reaching out to prospects half of the job is done. So let’s start.

Leads narrative: Based on recent funding round, following requirements are expected to arise:-
