Origin Story

By Tim Zheng

The Problem

Sales teams use separate tools for lead data, email finding, outreach sequences, and CRM — creating fragmented workflows.

Building It

Founded 2015, pivoted from analytics to sales intelligence. Grew rapidly to become a top ZoomInfo alternative.

What It Means

Shows that sales intelligence and outreach belong in one platform, not siloed tools.

The Dream

Give every sales team access to enterprise-grade prospecting and engagement tools at accessible prices.
