The State of B2B Buying Signals
Most “intent data” won’t show you where it came from. This does. Everything below is added up from 693 public buying signals an earlier version of Intakra found across 1,114 B2B companies: funding rounds, bursts of job posts, new executives, launches, press, and M&A. Most link to a public source.
Data from April 12, 2026 to September 23, 2026
Finding 01
Signals come in many kinds, not just one.
Funding is the most common kind in this dataset right now. The rows below show how many signals fell into each kind. Counts don’t tell us which kinds lead to sales.
Dated analysis · September 25, 2026
A fixed snapshot of the 687 signals we had on September 24 shows what you miss if you only watch funding. The counts by kind and a timing-score check are available to download.

The best accounts show more than one signal.
Of the 305 companies that surfaced any signal, 29% (89 companies) showed two or more different kinds of signal, for example a funding round and a burst of job posts. Several separate events at one company around the same time usually say more than one. Intakra works the same way today: related proof about one company goes into one heads-up. Across the dataset, active companies averaged 2.3 signals each.
Finding 03
Most signals link to a source you can check.
A score you can’t check is hard to trust. In this dataset, 100% of signals link to a public source, from 194 different outlets and data feeds (press wires, financial news, job boards, LinkedIn). Of the signals our relevance check scored, 48% came back at 0.9 confidence or higher. And it’s recent: 364 of 693 signals landed in the last 90 days.
Methodology
How we measured this
- Real data, not a survey. Every figure is counted live from 693 signals an earlier version of Intakra saved to our database. Today Intakra checks a different, narrower set of public sources: job posts, company websites, SEC filings, federal contracts, layoff notices (called WARN notices), and a company’s domain and security certificate records, which can show a new app or site being set up.
- Clean set only. We exclude any rows whose date lands in the future (a date-reading error from the source), so the report never shows a signal we can’t stand behind.
- What we don’t claim. Some dates come from loading older data after the fact, so we do not report how fast we spot a signal. The data isn’t clean enough to say that honestly. This is also an early dataset from our own account lists. It describes the signals we’ve seen, not the whole B2B market.
