How do we maintain growth at scale?\n2. Do our metrics align with public companies for a successful IPO?\n\nTo answer these questions, companies often do the following:\n\n* **Explore adjacent areas for expansion:** A commercial neobank might consider expanding to consumer\n* **Benchmark to similar companies:** Toast might compare their financials to Square's\n* **Track their market share:** A CRM might monitor competitors’ penetration across the market\n\n#### Our insights\n\n* Companies are hiring consulting firms that cost $1M+ and take months to provide a single report, which quickly becomes outdated.\n* Accessing key insights into public companies requires time consuming analysis due to inconsistencies across companies and obfuscation of important information.\n\n#### The solution\n\nRiveter automates the collection and analysis of private and public company data, **so you can focus on making the right strategic decisions, faster.** \n\n#### The product\n\n**The deepest analysis of public companies available**\n\nGet the data you wish Capital IQ gave you.\n\n* Get data on the usage of specific products, customer counts, retention, and more, in addition to standard metrics\n* Review metrics like gross margins, ACV, customer segment, CAC, CAC payback, Rule of 40, and more that have been automatically calculated for you, and are always up to date\n* Understand company-specific language and segmentation\n\n \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85462\u0026key=user_uploads/2203245/c283cf5c-4abf-471a-b8c3-b296996a768b)\n\n**Analysis of investor relations documents** \n\nRiveter summarizes key documents and artifacts, and extracts relevant quotes to save you time getting to the information you need.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85462\u0026key=user_uploads/2203245/cd59d464-0ec8-436b-a2aa-0a60e031d077)\n\n\n**Search company documents and Riveter data**\n\nLooking to understand how a certain product is performing?
