The short version

Dealroom tells you who is in the market. Bounce Watch tells you what moved in it this week.

Dealroom is the reference platform for European company and funding data, and it is the one most teams here start from — mapping a landscape, sizing a segment, understanding who funded whom. That is a different job from watching a named list of companies day to day. Bounce Watch takes a list you already care about, watches it, and files the few names that changed for a reason worth acting on — with the date we last looked attached to every answer, so an empty result is never mistaken for a quiet company. Teams that use both use them in that order: map with Dealroom, watch with us.

Fair questions.

Dealroom is the reference platform for European company and funding data, and it is the one most teams here start from — mapping a landscape, sizing a segment, understanding who funded whom. That is a different job from watching a named list of companies day to day. Bounce Watch takes a list you already care about, watches it, and files the few names that changed for a reason worth acting on — with the date we last looked attached to every answer, so an empty result is never mistaken for a quiet company. Teams that use both use them in that order: map with Dealroom, watch with us.
