What is the difference between Cura and PortfolioIQ?

PortfolioIQ is AI plus human analysts verifying financial figures against the source — excellent for messy or multilingual documents. Cura extracts data automatically with source links, adds continuous public monitoring and agent read/write access over an API and MCP, and sends founder requests from your own inbox.

Is PortfolioIQ's data more accurate than Cura's?

On the hardest, messiest financial documents, PortfolioIQ's human-in-the-loop review is a real strength, and we won't pretend otherwise. Cura's advantage is breadth — it also captures informal updates and public signal, and keeps everything reachable by your own AI agents.

Does PortfolioIQ monitor public signal?

No. PortfolioIQ focuses on extracting and standardizing data from documents, forms, and models. Cura adds daily monitoring of LinkedIn, X, news, and hiring on top of extraction.
