Back to news

What indicates a good deal for you?

Fresh funding? A new product launch? A leadership change? And what indicates a deal falling apart? Layoffs? Financial distress? A restructuring underway? Whatever your answers are, you can now search on them.

Every sales team knows the feeling.

Weeks of work on a prospect that never had the budget. A deal that dies because the company was quietly in trouble the whole time. Meanwhile, the companies that just raised capital, won a big contract or launched a new product get called by whoever saw it first.

Company search in Aira lets you filter on recent signals. Not just size, industry and geography, but real events: registry filings, website changes and news, matched to companies across 14 European markets.

Why it matters

Every prospect list built on static data goes stale the moment you export it. Firmographics tell you a company fits your profile. They don't tell you if now is the right time to call, or if the company is quietly falling apart.

Every signal works both ways: include or exclude. One seller's dealbreaker is another's entire market.

How it works

Open Explore, set your filters based on your ICP, then add signals. Include what signals a good opportunity for you, exclude everything that signals risk.

The signals come from official registry filings, continuous website monitoring and news coverage across all 14 markets, in the local languages. That includes the roughly 90% of European companies that never appear in the press but do publish on their own website.

Narrow it down further with AI qualification

Once your list is filtered, run a qualification prompt on top. Write it in plain language: "Only include B2B companies", "Exclude consultancies", "Only companies that sell to the public sector". Aira qualifies every company on the list against your criteria and removes the rest.

Straight into your CRM

When the list is done, import it directly into HubSpot or Salesforce with Aira Connect. No exports, no spreadsheets, no manual entry. Your target list lands where your team already works, ready to be worked.

What you get

A search that starts at millions of companies and ends at a shortlist worth your time. Fit profile plus timing plus qualification, pushed straight into your CRM.

Signal filtering is live now in Explore for all Aira members. Included in your plan, like everything else.
