What Opoint does

Opoint (legal entity Opoint A/S, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a real-time global news data infrastructure provider that captures and structures approximately 3.5 million articles per day from a corpus of 250,000+ manually curated sources spanning 135 languages and 230 jurisdictions. The platform is built around API-based data delivery (SafeFeed, Search API, StoredSearch, Tracking, Portal) layered with enrichment services — Topics & Entities (IPTC codes and LEI/FIGI/PermID/Wikidata identifiers), Readership estimation, and Sentiment Analysis for English, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian — that arrive pre-tagged for direct ingestion into customer systems. Source quality is maintained by a 40-person news analyst team, a deliberate human-in-the-loop design choice the company positions against fully automated crawlers. Average publication-to-customer delivery latency is under seven minutes.

The company sells exclusively to enterprise customers on annual subscription contracts with quote-based pricing, targeting four primary verticals: Compliance & AML (adverse media screening, KYC signals, sanctions), Financial Services (trading signals, quant feeds, market surveillance), Media Monitoring (PR, brand, and communications platforms), and Business Intelligence (competitive and ESG intelligence). Distribution is API-first with direct enterprise field sales led by Chief Sales Officer Toby Cook in London, augmented by OEM/platform partnerships with Quantifind, Onclusive, Minerva, Newton, MemberCheck, Sentometrics, PDLN, Ritzaus Bureau, and Visapress, which embed Opoint feeds inside their own risk, monitoring, and content-protection platforms. Operations span Copenhagen (legal headquarters), Oslo, London, and India.

Opoint is privately held with no disclosed external funding beyond a 2013 DICO round, indicating a bootstrapped growth profile. Named customers include Quantifind, Onclusive, Minerva, Ritzaus Bureau, Visapress, Novus Group, Comintelli, Semantrum, and Sigma Financial AI. The company has extended beyond news data into a Reviews API (15M+ reviews/month) and a Tracking Intelligence module for content-distribution monitoring and infringement detection.
