Track any company or industry (Inside Distill – Part 2)

It shouldn’t matter whether a company is public or private, big or small, well-known or flying under the radar. If it’s relevant to your work, you should be able to track it.

But that’s not how most tools are built.

They prioritize scale over precision. Coverage over control. And they often stop at the surface.

The problem: Limited coverage means limited visibility

Traditional monitoring tools typically focus on public companies in major markets. If you're tracking a private startup, a niche player in a fragmented industry, or a company in a different region, you're often left with a blank page.

Even when information is available, it’s scattered. You might find a press mention here, a blog post there – assuming you even know where to look.

For professionals who need to stay ahead, that’s not good enough.

With Distill, you can follow any company – regardless of size, geography, or visibility – and get continuous updates on their activity.
