Common Questions

What founders ask before
raising the periscope.

What is Octo Periscope?

Octo Periscope is a custom market-intelligence pipeline that scans every credible source in your industry — emerging-company databases like Crunchbase and PitchBook, regulatory portals like the FDA and EMA, and trade press relevant to your category — and surfaces only what fits your acquisition or sourcing strategy. Each engagement is configured for the buyer's sector, refresh cadence, and decision criteria.

What data sources does Octo Periscope monitor?

Periscope monitors four classes of source: emerging-company databases, trade press, regulatory portals, and approval/clearance feeds. The exact source list is configured per engagement to the buyer's sector.

How often does Octo Periscope deliver intelligence?

Standard cadence is a weekly digest delivered every Monday, with 5–15 ranked signals scored against your acquisition or sourcing criteria. High-velocity sectors (regulated devices, tariff-sensitive categories) can be configured for daily alerts on category-defining events. Slow-moving sectors can be quarterly. Setup time from kickoff to first digest is typically 2 weeks.

How is Octo Periscope different from a Google Alert or a paid market-research subscription?

Google Alerts surface keyword matches without ranking, deduplication, or fit scoring against your strategy — and miss anything not on the open web. Paid market-research subscriptions deliver vendor-defined reports on a quarterly cycle. Periscope runs configured pipelines against the sources that matter for your decision, deduplicates across feeds, scores each signal against your criteria, and delivers a ranked digest the same week the signal appears.

Who is Octo Periscope built for?

Strategic acquirers searching for early-stage companies before the auction starts. Manufacturers and OEMs looking for foreign products to license, white-label, or co-develop. Brand builders scanning a new category for the product that becomes their next launch. Common thread: SMEs without an in-house intelligence team who need the answer first, not last.

How do I get started with Octo Periscope?

Email info@agenceocto.com with your sector, the type of signal you need to catch (acquisitions, regulatory shifts, competitor product launches), and the decision the intelligence will inform. Octo replies within 1 business day with a 30-minute scoping call to confirm fit. If Periscope isn't the right tool for your case, that gets said on the call rather than after a proposal.
