Descriptiontext

Explorium is a B2B data infrastructure platform that provides external data for AI agents and go-to-market workflows. The company aggregates data from more than 50 sources through an "aggregator of aggregators" architecture, covering 146M+ business entities, 767M+ professional profiles, 90M+ geospatial data points, and 4,000+ data signals, delivered via proprietary waterfall enrichment that sequentially queries multiple sources until verified records are returned. Core products include the AgentSource® API suite (Account & Prospect Generation, Events, Custom Signal, and Enrichment APIs), the MCP Server that exposes this data to LLM-based agents through the Model Context Protocol, the Vibe Prospecting natural-language interface, and vertical solutions for sales, GTM engineering, marketing, and recruiting use cases.

Explorium serves sales development teams, GTM engineers, marketers, and recruiters at companies ranging from startups (Tapistro) through mid-market (Melio, EquityBee, Idea Financial) to large enterprises (PepsiCo, Taboola, Outreach, Bombora, Iscar). The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led self-serve tiers ($0 free trial through a $7,500 Scale package) with enterprise field sales offering custom contracts, volume discounts, dedicated CSMs, and CRM-native integrations with Salesforce and HubSpot. Distribution is increasingly anchored on the AI agent ecosystem, with native MCP connectors for Claude Code, ChatGPT, Claude Pro, and OpenClaw.

The company is incorporated as Explorium Ltd. in Israel, headquartered in Tel Aviv at 3 Daniel Frish Street, with additional offices in New York and San Francisco. It has raised approximately $125 million across four venture rounds between 2018 and 2021, with the most recent being a $75 million Series C in May 2021 led by Insight Partners. Explorium is led by co-founder and CEO Omer Har and co-founder and COO Or Tamir, and maintains enterprise-grade compliance certifications including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, and CCPA.
