Competitive Intelligence

Your rivals are telling you their next move. You just have to know where to look.

Every strategic shift shows up in the people before it shows up anywhere else. Inkling watches every person at every rival — and writes the brief so your team doesn't have to.

Why CI teams choose Inkling

Manual tracking doesn't scale.
Your rivals don't slow down for you.

You're checking public profiles one by one. Your sales team is sharing tips in Slack. Someone hears something on a call. That's not a CI program — that's noise. Inkling replaces the manual work with a system that watches every person at every rival, automatically, and tells you what matters.

What you get

The competitive read, on autopilot.

Hires, exits, promotions — before they're publicized

We catch a departure before the person updates their profile. A hire before the press release. A promotion the day it appears. You get the signal when it's still actionable.

One briefing that briefs itself

Every week, Inkling writes the story across your tracked companies — which rival is scaling a function, which one is bleeding GTM leaders, what the talent flow between players means. Forward it to your exec team as-is.

Alerts the moment it matters

Set a threshold and we'll hit your inbox — or Slack — the moment a major move happens. No weekly wait for the moves that can't wait.

In practice

Built for how CI teams actually work.

Battlecard freshness

Know the moment a rival makes a significant hire in product or engineering — before your sales team gets caught off guard in a demo.

Executive briefings

Give leadership a weekly read on competitor headcount, attrition, and momentum. Already written. Ready to forward.

Hiring signal

A rival's job openings are lagging indicators. Their actual hires are the real signal. Track both.

Analyst & board prep

When attrition at a key rival spikes, you need the data before the question comes up in the meeting.

The read this week: Ramp had the rough week — its VP of Sales left with no destination, and Stripe hired away a Ramp engineering director, the second Ramp → Stripe move this quarter. Compete with either? Your poach list just grew.
