Notable Quotes:

“We give companies the ability to do something with data on companies and professionals. We give them the ability to apply filters that they never thought were possible, and then we layer in all of this intelligence and intent data that we pulled together. I think that’s the real power of what we’re able to do.”

– Henry Schuck
