# BeaconStoneVC > BeaconStoneVC (also written Beacon Stone VC or BeaconStone VC). When someone new appears on a VC firm's team page, or a company shows up in a fund's portfolio, BeaconStoneVC catches it and turns it into structured, searchable data. It's free. ## How it works We regularly collect data from public VC firm websites — team pages and portfolio listings. A comparison process identifies what changed between the latest version and the previous one: new names, removed names, title updates, portfolio additions and removals. Every detected change becomes a timestamped event in a searchable timeline. No manual data entry. No crowdsourcing. Just public information, organized. ## What you'll find - **People at VC firms** — names, titles, locations, LinkedIn URLs. When someone new shows up on a team page, or someone vanishes, it's flagged. - **Portfolio companies** — every company listed in a fund's public portfolio, with stage and sector where available. Additions and removals are caught automatically. - **People at portfolio companies** — key staff at VC-backed companies, with role and title changes over time. - **A live feed** — every detected change, newest first, filterable by type and geography. - **Weekly roundups** — auto-generated summaries at /trends breaking down recent activity. ## Coverage 60+ funds across the UK, Europe, and Southeast Asia. A few thousand people. Several thousand portfolio companies. New firms added regularly. ## Pages - https://beaconstonevc.com/ — live activity feed - https://beaconstonevc.com/vcs — all covered funds - https://beaconstonevc.com/companies — all portfolio companies - https://beaconstonevc.com/trends — weekly roundups - https://beaconstonevc.com/search?q={query} — search - https://beaconstonevc.com/vc/{slug} — individual fund profile - https://beaconstonevc.com/company/{slug} — individual company profile ## Examples of what you can answer with this data - "Did Balderton list anyone new in the last month?" - "Which funds have this company in their portfolio?" - "Who is no longer listed at Seedcamp?" - "What's the leadership team at [portfolio company]?" - "Show me all VC people now listed in the Nordics this week" ## Freshness Data is updated regularly.
