Company Profiles

Each company in ATDb has a detailed profile page showing everything we know about that business. Profiles are organized into tabbed sections for easy navigation.

The top of every company profile shows:

  • Logo — sourced automatically when available
  • Name and tagline — the company's value proposition
  • Tier badge — S-tier through D-tier rating indicating market significance
  • Verification seal — small chip showing Verified / Verified · N sources / Unverified next to the title row. See Verification.
  • Operational status — Active, Acquired, Subsidiary, Merged, Rebranded, or Defunct
  • Pending Acquisition badge (if applicable) — amber chip indicating an acquisition has been announced but has not yet closed. Click to see the announced date, expected close date, deal value, and the counterparty entity. Target-side reads Pending: → {Acquirer}; acquirer-side reads Pending: → {Target} (and lists multiple if multiple deals are open).
  • Category badges — the AdTech segments the company operates in
  • Action buttons — Report, Suggest Edit, Watchlist, Share (availability depends on your account status)

Company Details

Company profiles include structured detail fields that make comparison and research easier.

Business Details

  • Industry — the company's primary industry
  • Business Model — how the company generates revenue (SaaS, marketplace, etc.)
  • Target Market — who the company sells to (enterprise, SMB, agencies, etc.)
  • Employee Count — approximate headcount
  • Founded Year — when the company was established

Financial

  • Funding Total — total capital raised
  • Revenue Range — approximate annual revenue bracket
  • Stock Symbol — ticker if publicly traded

Technical

  • API Available — whether the company offers a public API
  • Parent Company — if the company is a subsidiary

Completeness

Each profile has a completeness score reflecting how many detail fields have been filled in. AI research and community contributions both improve completeness over time.

Operational Status

Companies can have one of six operational statuses:

StatusMeaning
ActiveCurrently operating
AcquiredPurchased by another company
SubsidiaryOperating as a division of a parent company
MergedCombined with another company
RebrandedChanged name/identity
DefunctNo longer operating

Flagging a Status Change

If you notice a company's status is wrong (e.g., a company has been acquired but is still listed as Active), you can flag it:

  1. Click the Flag Status button on the company profile
  2. Select the correct status from the dropdown
  3. Add optional context explaining the change
  4. Submit — your flag goes to admin review

This is especially valuable for keeping the database current. Status changes trigger fresh AI research to update the company's description and details to reflect its new state.
