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!

Also in 2022, we upgraded our Outlook Plugin for ease of use. Our Outlook customers could now use the Plugin as a quicker substitute for the app.

Released industry-leading guarantee with automated refund function

We decided to reimburse contact credits that receive a Confidence Score of 40 or less. This reimbursement happens automatically so our customers don't have to waste time submitting a request.

2021
We released contact confidence score as a double validation of contact records. Once at acquisition, again in real-time when customer uses contact.

To help our customers better evaluate our contact data, we decided to include a Confidence Score. This score estimates the likelihood that an email address is accurate. You can check the Historical Confidence Score for an indication of accuracy or run a Real-Time Confidence Score for an updated estimate.
