By Datanyze
Datanyze is a business intelligence software company specializing in technographics-delivering real-time insights into companies’ technology stacks and buying signals. Founded in 2012, Datanyze has built a reputation for providing actionable B2B and B2C data analytics, enabling organizations to identify, target, and convert high-value accounts. The company serves a diverse clientele across North America and Europe, with its headquarters now in Durham, North Carolina.
Datanyze was founded by Ilya Semin in 2012, with a vision to revolutionize sales prospecting through technology-driven data. The company quickly gained traction by offering unique insights into technology adoption, helping sales teams identify when prospects started or stopped using specific tools. Datanyze’s growth was marked by rapid revenue increases, a 500% jump in 2014, and the acquisition of its competitor LeadLedger in December 2014, which expanded its reach in the advertising sector and eliminated a key riva. By 2016, Datanyze had reached $6 million in revenue and 500 customers.
Datanyze secured $2 million in seed funding in 2014, led by IDG Ventures with participation from Google Ventures, Mark Cuban, AngelList, and others. The funds were used to grow the team and enhance product capabilities. By August 2014, Datanyze’s valuation was estimated at $10 million. In September 2018, Datanyze was acquired by ZoomInfo, a leading B2B data provider, further boosting its market position and integrating its technographic intelligence into a broader sales intelligence ecosystem.
