Clearbit
Co-Founder and CEO: Alex MacCaw
Five-year-old Clearbit develops business intelligence software that the company says is helping firms find more information related to customers in order to increase sales and reduce fraud. Its offering is aimed at making big data an integrated part of the sales, marketing, and product workflow operations.
The San Francisco-based company in September unveiled X, a platform for B2B marketing and sales teams that lets companies improve their customer communications and demand-generation tools with first-party data -- which the companies using the platform own, as well as third-party data that Clearbit owns, the company said.
