Interesting idea and good execution as a proof of concept
From 3 comments
This feels like the start of a “people layer” for public companies—almost like a Bloomberg terminal but focused purely on executive movement. Curious if you’ve looked at…
aayushkumar121 on HNGreat proof of concept! At the top it says: > 2,100+ > CEO, CFO, Board, and other executive changes tracked in the past 30 days Could you add a little metric there such as how…
karmelapple on HNNice job! Is there a way to double click on any name to see more details on the person like previous positions or current compensation?

Objections
Subscription is premature for a product still being built; overlaps with Bloomberg and other paid data sources
From 3 comments
Look now that the site loads, is it a bit sketchy that you are asking 50 dollars subscription, one can't even navigate the site a bit without subscribing. You don't even have a…
abstracthinking on HNFun project but meh on subscription. This data already exists in much better detail including full network graphs of people and many additional data points. Financial data is a…
infecto on HNWhat’s the value add though? This could be vibe coded out in a couple hours of coding and some more incremental time to process historical filings. And I don’t mean this in a…

Site fails under load and gets stuck loading
From 2 comments

Add a delayed or stale public dataset or API
From 2 comments
Would you consider making a stale dataset (3day, 1 week, idk..?) available for other projects (but also protect your revenue stream?) I assume the value in the paid option would…
richwater on HNYeah been thinking about that. A delayed public feed or an API with a lag makes sense. The real-time piece is where the paid value is so anything older than a few weeks/months…

Relationship graph of board and executive overlaps
From 1 comment
What would also be very interesting is a graph of relationships and movements. Let's see just how incestuous the boards really are, and what's going on with serial CEOs who move…

Questions
How the comp extraction works, LLM or rules-based, and how amendments are handled
From 2 comments
How does the comp extraction work? 8-K prose has no standard format so curious whether you're running it through an LLM or using a rules-based parser, and how you handle…
eddy_cammegh on HNThe 8-K text gets run through an LLM to extract the structured fields. It handles the variation in format pretty well. For amendments, the system picks up the amended filing and…

Whether equity and bonuses are included in comp figures
From 1 comment
Is the equity piece one-time or yearly grants? I think it is adding up yearly salary with one-time equity grants. Also, how about bonuses?

aayushkumar121 on HNAgreed, the big providers like Bloomberg cover this space with way more depth. I'm building for the teams that can't justify those budgets (small sales teams, independent…
