I've addressed some of the issues you mentioned.
You idea about subscriptions/alerts is a good one. Right now I don't have any kind of work flow except google sheets, so that would be a bit tricky, but I'll bear it in mind for the future.
And yes, the US is obviously on my list of countries to service.
Thanks for the feedback.
On search results, did you specifically opt not to display logos? It may actually be nice not to have them so focus is placed on mission statement / slogan, but I'd be interested if this omission was intentional.
Overall, seems like a site I'd use if it expanded to the U.S. and other countries. If this site is targeting people interested in products (rather than investors / job hunters) then maybe you could add a feature to subscribe by email for specific search terms. For example, what if I want to be alerted once a month if there are new companies posted that match the term "coffee"? This would be a great addition to help encourage users to return to your site.
