Bounce Watch
PitchBook tells you what happened. Bounce Watch tells you what's happening right now.
PitchBook is the gold standard for private market deal data — cap tables, fund benchmarks, and deal comps are unmatched. But it's a rearview mirror: it tells you a company raised Series B six weeks ago. Bounce Watch tells you a company is hiring 12 engineers this week, expanding to Germany, and their risk score just shifted — with a draft outreach email ready. Different tools, different jobs. If you need timing intelligence at an accessible price, Bounce Watch fills the gap PitchBook can't.

Bounce Watch
Signals, timing & drafted outreach
Not a religion. A stack.
Plenty of teams keep PitchBook for what it does well — and add Bounce Watch as the signal layer that tells them who is ready right now and writes the first email. Try them side by side; keep what works.
Fair questions.
