Company Summary
Sqoop is solving two massive pain points for journalists, first by helping them find info they need from the SEC, patent office and federal courts, as well as announcements directly from the businesses and sectors they care about. Journalists use the service for free, and businesses pay us between $250 and $500 per announcement, which we match algorithmically with the reporters most likely to be interested in that news. We are journalist first.
