Case Study: REV uncovers hidden investment opportunities ahead of the curve with Signal AI

How Signal helped REV Identify niche publications as well as mainstream media

REV, a corporate venture capital firm backed by RELX Group, needed to find “hidden gem” investment targets outside mainstream outlets. An Investment Associate at REV required a fast, easy way to scan diverse news sources and surface niche publications and early signals of opportunities, and REV already had a partnership relationship with Signal AI after investing in Signal’s seed and Series A rounds.

Signal AI, which analyses 3 million sources every day, provided a self-serve platform with customizable feeds that REV’s team uses daily to unearth targets, compile a weekly sector news review, and distribute timely digests to partners. By using Signal AI once a day for those three core tasks—origination, weekly review, and knowledge sharing—REV gained broader coverage of niche and mainstream media, improving deal sourcing and speeding organisation-wide information flow.
