Owlin heeft al een behoorlijke route gevolgd door het Nederlandse Ecosysteem. Ooit meegedaan met Startup Weekend, vervolgens naar Inqubator in Leeuwarden vandaar naar Rockstart, gefinancierd door Noro Venture Capital, eerste klanten als Deloitte en INGbank, en ze gaan maar door. Met wat? Met 'early warning diensten' voor beleggers, verzekeraars en accountants. En ze zijn sneller dan Bloomberg!

6. Case: ASML
Zoom: 30 July 2014
On July 30, ASML jumped 11% in half a trading day.
Dutch investment blogs were initially puzzled. Owlin
readers knew, though: Owlin carried the market-moving
news from an American trade letter 1h26m before Dutch
news sources picked it up (at which point the stock had
already climbed 7,5%).
Timeline:
13:04: Electronics Weekly reports significant
technological advance of ASML subsidiary Cymer Inc, a
company acquired by ASML last year. ASML shares start
creeping up about 20 minutes later
14:17: Dutch news site IEX asks ‘what is going on?’
14:30: Dutch website ‘deaandeelhouder.nl’ is the first to
re-report the news from Electronics Weekly
17:00: ASML closes up 11%

7. Case: Imtech – Frits & Macziol
Zoom: 31 January – 21 February
On February 18 to the 19th at midnight, Imtech announced a fraud
investigation at its Swiss daughter Fritz & Macziol. The next day Imtech
opened 6% lower. However, the news around the fraud investigation was
already on the streets for weeks. But no Dutch news source picked it up
until then.
Timeline:
31 January: Swiss blog inside-it.ch announced fraud investigation at
Imtech
03 February: Imtech announces improvement in Germany.
04/05 February: More Swiss sources are reporting on fraud investigation.
11/13 February: “Topman Imtech commissaris bij de NS”
19 February: Via an official press release Imtech announces fraud
investigation, many sources publish the press release. Imtech drops 6%.
