Our Story

In 2009, two brothers embarked on a mission to create the best Sales Intelligence Platform available. Over the years, our product roadmap has grown to include new integrations and features. But our commitment to constructing the most valuable and cost-effective Sales Intelligence Platform available has never changed.

Today, our platform has become a must-have for sales and marketing teams worldwide. Our platform has 200+ primary features, plugins for Chrome, Gmail and Outlook, 600 million contacts, 4 data centers with over 6 TB of Data and over 300 integrations.

Through the use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, we are now able to identify the Person, not just the company visiting your website. Stay tuned for what comes next!
