Understand MarketPulse with the Investor In-App Survey
Learn how MarketPulse uses a brief in-app investor survey to capture sentiment, investment preferences, and key concerns—providing valuable insights to help you better understand your investors and strengthen your engagement strategy.
MarketPulse is an insights dashboard designed to help sponsors understand investor sentiment, investment preferences, and the factors influencing investment decisions. These insights can help sponsors refine their outreach, tailor offerings, and strengthen investor engagement.
In addition to insights from your own investor base, MarketPulse benchmarks sentiment and investment trends across investors on the SponsorCloud platform. This broader perspective provides valuable market intelligence to help identify emerging trends, understand investor behavior, and support more informed fundraising decisions.
MarketPulse is available across both the Sponsor Platform and Investor Platform:
- Sponsor Dashboard — Provides visibility into investor sentiment, investment interests, key concerns, and broader market trends.
- Investor Dashboard — Enables investors to complete the MarketPulse survey and view market-level insights based on responses from other investors.
