- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2015

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Sales Intelligence / B2B Data
- **Target customers**: Enterprise and mid-market sales, marketing, and revenue operations teams (B2B, especially those prospecting into EMEA)

## Products & Services
- **Sales Intelligence**: Contact and company data with phone-verified mobiles, decision-maker coverage, and actionable signals (intent, hiring, funding).
- **Data-as-a-Service (DaaS)**: Real-time access to verified B2B data via API or batch delivery, powered by a proprietary data fusion engine that combines news, registries, and third-party sources.
- **Data Enrichment**: Fill gaps in CRM/marketing databases, prioritise ICP segments, and keep records accurate with continuous refresh (30-day cycle for director+ data).
- **CRM Enrichment**: Automatically enrich inbound leads so records are complete and routable from the moment they enter the CRM.
