How the Portfolio works

The Portfolio is your watchlist of companies. It fills from your email and from companies you approve.

Your Portfolio is the list of companies Aira watches for you. It fills itself from your inbox over the first few days, and you keep it sharp by approving the companies Aira finds and adding more when you need to.

This article covers how companies get into your Portfolio, what you see in the list, and what the counters at the top actually mean.

How companies get into your Portfolio

Three routes:

  1. From your inbox. Aira matches the email domains you exchange messages with to companies in Aira's company database. Candidates appear in the Companies to review queue at the top of your Portfolio. You approve the ones you actually work with, and skip the rest.

  2. From Discover. Search for companies in plain language. On each result card or company-preview screen, click Add to portfolio.

  3. From Recommendations. Aira suggests lookalikes of companies already in your Portfolio. Click Add to portfolio on any recommendation card or company-preview screen.

You don't manually import a list of companies on day one. The Portfolio is meant to grow with your work, not from a one-off CSV.

What you see in the list

Each row is a company:

  • Name: click it to open the Company card.

  • Revenue: the latest annual revenue Aira has on file.

  • Employees: the latest headcount.

  • Last interaction: the most recent email, meeting, or call between someone in your organization and someone at the company.

  • Location: country flag plus the registered office city.

  • Industry: the industry tag from Aira's company database.

Click any column header to sort by it. Use the search bar at the top to find a company by name. Click a row to open the Company card.

What "Monitoring N companies" means

The header above the list shows three counters. For example, "Monitoring 42 companies · 423 board members · 3,475 group entities".

  • N companies is the size of your Portfolio.

  • N board members is the number of people Aira is watching across the boards of those companies. When a director moves, that signal lands in your Intel feed.

  • N group entities counts the parent companies and subsidiaries linked to your Portfolio, so Aira can flag news about anyone in the group structure.

The Company card

Clicking a company opens the Company card, with sections covering Financials, People, Group structure, Meetings, Meeting notes, Research, News, and Similar companies. See The Company card for a tour.
