Funding Announcement Alerts from Public RSS
Watch public news and press-release RSS feeds for funding announcements that match your sector, region and keywords, and get a daily digest with source links.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $12/month (free: 1 alert rule, weekly digest)
- Daily math
- 50 subscribers x $12/month = $600/month, about $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $600 / month at 50 subscribers
Audience and urgency
Audience: B2B agencies, recruiters, freelancers and SaaS sellers who sell to recently funded startups, including in Southeast Asia.
Urgency: Newly funded startups are often hiring and buying, but announcements are spread across many news sites. Tracking them by hand means reading feeds every day.

Core requirements:
1. Feeds: an admin-managed starter list of public RSS/Atom feeds plus user-added feed URLs (validated). Fetch every 2 hours with ETag/If-Modified-Since and a clear user agent.
2. Store items as headline, link, source, published date and a short summary only if the feed provides one; never fetch full article pages.
3. Alert rules: include/exclude keywords, regions and sectors; optional LLM extraction of {company, round, amount_as_stated} from the headline and summary, shown as "extracted" with a link to the source.
4. Daily or weekly digest emails per rule (Resend), and a searchable match history with CSV export.
5. Stripe Billing ($12/month); free tier limited to 1 rule with a weekly digest.Comparable products
