GEN: What problem are you solving?

Policylead: We significantly reduce the time for daily political research and improve the regulatory risk management of lobbyists and policy analysts.

What is the solution you are offering?

We deliver all news and analytical insights for specific policy issues.

List 3 reasons why you are better than your competitors

  1. We focus on lobbyist and policy analysts and provide a 360° political monitoring service.
  2. We bring machine and human intelligence together
  3. We have a highly big-data-driven and technical approach to political consultancy. There are few competitors in Europe with the same approach.

How does your company make money?

We sell 12-month-subscriptions for different news and monitoring services (b2b).

What are your next steps?

The future power of political monitoring lies in a smart mixture of human-machine-interaction. We will soon release this power. In April we launched an analytical and collaborative issue management system (“Policylead Digital Dossier”) to follow single legislative procedures or political initiatives; users, researchers or administrators can edit information like up-coming events or write executive summaries; with interactive procedure timelines and integrating all our smart data like related news, influencers and parliamentary papers, it will create a 360° picture of a political process. This is something Europe has not seen before !
