The quiet infrastructure of financial news. Every day it reads the world's public disclosures - press releases, filings, government statements - so newsrooms and market-data platforms don't have to.
Public Technologies is not a household name, and that is more or less the point. The New York company - branded simply "Public," and known for years as noodls - builds the plumbing that carries corporate news from where it is issued to the people who need it. Every trading day roughly 15,000 announcements pour out of companies, regulators and governments in dozens of languages. Most never reach the desks that could act on them. Public exists to close that gap.
The pipeline is deliberately unglamorous: ingest an announcement from a press wire, a regulatory feed or a corporate investor-relations page; strip the boilerplate; normalize the HTML; run semantic analysis; and tag the result against an expandable taxonomy so it can be routed to the right editorial or financial destination. Done once, it is trivial. Done 15,000 times a day, in 40 languages, across 175 exchanges, it becomes a genuine piece of market infrastructure.
The company describes itself as the largest public disclosure platform available today, monitoring more than 47,000 organizations across 192 countries, including over 18,000 listed companies. Its buyers fall into two camps: media organizations that want wider coverage without a bigger newsroom, and market-data providers that need to fill the gaps left by fragmented disclosure channels. In 2024 that reach expanded again when LSEG built its AI-generated News Briefs on top of Public's data.
Public disclosure is scattered - press-release wires, filings, regulatory feeds and thousands of investor-relations websites, each with its own format. Covering all of it by hand is expensive; missing a market-moving item is expensive too. Public sits in that gap, automating aggregation, normalization and categorization so nothing has to be hunted down manually.
Media and news organizations that want to enhance reach and cut newsgathering cost, plus market-data and financial-information providers looking to extend coverage of companies, industries and regulation - and to extract fundamental data, corporate events and economic indicators.

Structured feeds that extend news coverage and enable extraction of fundamental data, corporate events and economic indicators for market-data platforms.
Press-release distributors like Business Wire, PR Newswire/Cision and GlobeNewswire push out announcements. Terminals like Bloomberg and LSEG/Refinitiv surface them. Public Technologies works in between - it does not just move content, it captures disclosures wherever they appear, cleans and classifies them, then hands other companies a structured stream they can build products on.
That neutrality is the differentiator. Because Public is source-agnostic - wires, filings and IR pages alike - it fills the gaps any single channel leaves. The LSEG partnership is the clearest proof: rather than build disclosure monitoring from scratch, LSEG licensed 15 years of it and layered generative AI on top.
Giacomo Cambiaso, Co-Founder & CEO, spent about a decade as a newspaper reporter before turning to automation. His first project used text-recognition technology to make labor-intensive news clipping scalable - the seed of what became Public. He co-founded the company with Filippo Novella and is based in New York.
The model is B2B content and data licensing. Public monetizes public disclosure by selling structured, taxonomy-tagged streams and feeds on a subscription/licensing basis to two buyer types: media organizations that use it to widen coverage and reduce newsgathering cost, and market-data providers that use it to fill disclosure gaps and extract structured data.
Distribution partnerships extend that reach without extra headcount - the LSEG Workspace integration puts Public's data in front of financial professionals globally, at no additional cost to those users.
