Thinknum
Web-scraped alternative data platform tracking company job postings, product listings, app usage and web traffic.
Thinknum is an alternative data provider whose core underlying data is web-scraped: it continuously monitors company websites, job boards, app stores and ecommerce marketplaces, then turns changes over time (headcount and hiring trends, product SKU counts, pricing, app downloads and ratings) into structured datasets and indices. Investors and corporate strategists use these as leading indicators of a company's growth, hiring plans or product strategy ahead of official disclosures. Data is delivered through a searchable web platform, an API, and direct data feeds for quantitative teams. Thinknum's differentiator from card-panel providers like Second Measure is its data source — public web content rather than transaction records — which gives it broader company coverage (including private companies) but a weaker direct read on revenue.
