Working with Scout
Scout is integrated throughout the Harmonic console. Wherever you see the 
symbol, Scout is ready to assist with your research needs.
Discover promising startups that might otherwise fly under your radar. Simply tell Scout what you're looking for in plain language:
"Show me early-stage @Brex competitors in US with recent headcount growth"
"Series A AI startups in healthcare with founders who worked at @Microsoft"
“Series B software companies with >$10M in funding focused on AML and fraud detection”
Every Scout session is automatically saved, creating a research history you can revisit anytime. You can also save searches for regular monitoring with one click.
Fast-track your diligence workflow
Scout can conduct your initial diligence with just a few clicks. Instead of manually gathering information across multiple sources, Scout can:
Conduct comprehensive research across your standard diligence questions
Aggregate information from various trusted sources
Synthesize findings into clear, direct answers
Complete hours of research work in minutes
This 10X multiplier for your research workflow means you can focus on evaluation rather than information gathering. Simply set up your standard diligence questions once, then apply them to any company in seconds.
All research persists on company profiles, making it easy to reference insights throughout your Harmonic workflow.
Generate deep research reports
