Arjun and Zara are amazing! They’re our batch and group office hours mates from YC S22.

We (https://www.newscatcherapi.com/) also serve the same use case but only for the news analysis part. And we don’t really have a UI: it’s all data accessible via an API.

I see a lot of questions here about comparing Overwatch to other OSINT tools. The ability to customize/personalize is a huge difference.

In my experience, clients with the most expensive problems are super underserved because there is no “Palantir-like” solutions.

Don’t get me wrong: you don’t have to do consulting — just tweak the onboarding/set up. Making bespoke solution for the companies with the biggest problems is a great way to get into the market. And it can work on the huge scale. E.g. Palantir.

An example from what we have as a very typical situation at NewsCatcher: a big bank is absolutely blown away because we actually can find news about private companies that they need to track with minimum false positives. And all we have to do is to tweak a bit our entity disambiguation module to work with the data points that the bank actually has.
