NewsCatcher is a news and web search API company that turns the open web into a clean, structured database of real-world events. It pulls from 90,000+ global sources, then deduplicates, enriches, and standardizes the articles so risk, finance, and AI teams can query news the way they query a database. Founded by Artem Bugara and Maksym Sugonyaka, it went through Y Combinator in Summer 2022.
AppliedXL is a New York-based event-detection company that builds machine-learning systems - it calls them editorial algorithms - to spot early signals in clinical trials, biotech, and financial data before they become news. Founded in 2020 by former Wall Street Journal computational journalists Francesco Marconi and Erin Riglin out of the Newlab Venture Studio, the company mines public databases like ClinicalTrials.gov to flag trial delays, enrollment shortfalls, and irregular status changes across more than 100 risk categories, feeding real-time intelligence to life-sciences executives and investors. Its work powers STAT Trials Pulse and appears on the Bloomberg Terminal.
