How to Set up an Alert

Let’s look at an example. Perhaps you’re interested in finding young, innovator companies that have raised their first round of venture capital. Let’s set up an alert for "series A".

  1. From anywhere on BioCentury.com, enter your desired term – e.g., "Series A" – in the search box in the top left corner. Then, click the magnifying glass icon, or just hit enter on your keyboard.
    (Tip: use "double quotes" to search for an exact term, as we did here)

  2. When you are ready to save your alert, click "Save Search to Workspace."

  2. Click "Save."
