About RivalDesk

Competitive intelligence should be a strategic advantage, not a manual chore.

We started RivalDesk because we saw strategy teams spending more time collecting competitor data than actually acting on it. We believe AI can change that.

Our Mission

Make competitive intelligence instant, actionable, and accessible to every team.

Too many organizations fly blind. Competitor moves happen daily - pricing changes, product launches, leadership shifts, market pivots - but most teams only hear about them weeks later, if at all.

RivalDesk was built to close that gap. We monitor, analyze, and deliver intelligence so your team can focus on what matters most: making better strategic decisions, faster.

Our Values

What drives us every day.

Signal Over Noise

We filter 94% of data so only what truly matters reaches your team. Clarity is our product, not volume.

Speed as Strategy

In competitive intelligence, hours matter. We obsess over detection time because your advantage depends on it.

Customer Obsession

Every feature starts with a real customer problem. We build with strategy teams, not just for them.

Trust and Transparency

We only use publicly available data. SOC 2 certified, GDPR compliant, and committed to ethical intelligence practices.
