What Insightia does

Insightia, now operating as Diligent Market Intelligence following its acquisition by Diligent Corporation, provides a subscription-based market intelligence platform serving institutional investors, financial and legal advisors, and corporate issuers. The platform delivers four integrated data modules — Shareholder Activism, Proxy Voting, Governance, and Executive Compensation — supported by a proprietary live newswire that tracks global activism campaigns in real time. It also now includes ESG data alongside its core governance datasets. Under Diligent's ownership, the product is positioned as a governance data backbone within the broader Diligent One Platform ecosystem, which spans board management, entity management, risk, compliance, and audit functions. The platform serves customers across industries including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Energy, Healthcare, and Technology.

The underlying technology is a market intelligence dataset aggregation and analytics platform rather than a software product built on novel infrastructure; its core differentiators are longitudinal proprietary datasets (thousands of investor profiles with success-rate and return metrics), a proprietary real-time newswire for activism developments, and integrated cross-domain benchmarking across activism, proxy voting, governance, and compensation. No APIs, SDKs, or machine learning pipelines are disclosed for the Market Intelligence product. Diligent's broader portfolio includes agentic AI capabilities (Third-Party Risk Intel, AI Board Member, AI Risk Essentials), but these are positioned at the parent platform level and are not confirmed as features of Market Intelligence itself.

Commercially, Insightia operates as a subscription-based SaaS with enterprise direct sales targeting large investors, advisors, and corporate issuers, complemented by self-serve trial accounts for mid-market prospects. Following the acquisition and rebrand, distribution is now leveraged through Diligent Corporation's global enterprise sales infrastructure, content marketing assets (Resources Hub, Diligent Institute), and major events such as Elevate 2026. Specific pricing tiers, customer logos, ARR, and headcount details for the Market Intelligence product line are not disclosed. The co-founder and CEO, Kerry Pogue, is identified as leadership, though the current operating leadership structure post-acquisition is not detailed in the available data.
