From the sources

500+ executive changes get buried in SEC filings every week. New CEOs, CFO departures, board shakeups. Most never make the news. Succession catches them all in a real-time feed with filters by role, sector, and company size, plus comp data pulled from proxy filings. This week: Lucid's incoming CEO disclosed at ~$14M total comp. Caterpillar and FedEx both swapped CFOs. One company fired their CEO, CFO, and COO in the same filing.

    (* within a few minutes of SEC filing) Currently does it for 1000+ US companies and specifically earnings related filings. By US companies, I mean the ones that are obliged to file SEC filings. This was the result of almost a year long effort and hundreds of prototypes :) It currently auto-publishes for 1000 ish US companies by market cap, relies on 8-K filing as a trigger. e.g. https://www.signalbloom.ai/news/NVDA will take you to NVDA earnings Would be grateful to get some feedback. Especially if you follow a company, check its reports out. Thank you! Some examples:…

    Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted. The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore.
