Public Technologies (branded 'Public', formerly noodls) is a New York-based information-services company that runs what it describes as the market's largest public disclosure platform. Every day its automated pipeline collects, normalizes, categorizes and distributes tens of thousands of corporate announcements, press releases, government statements and regulatory filings issued in dozens of languages by tens of thousands of organizations across nearly 200 countries. It sells this structured, taxonomy-tagged content stream to media organizations that want broader coverage at lower newsgathering cost and to market-data and financial-information providers who need to fill the gaps left by fragmented disclosure channels.
