Nyne.ai

What Nyne.ai does

Nyne.ai is a remote-first, US-based (California) data infrastructure company founded in 2024 by Michael Fanous (CEO) and Emad Fanous (CTO & Chief Architect). It operates a real-time people and company intelligence platform delivered as an API, resolving over 2 billion people across 2,400+ attributes and targeting developers, product managers, data engineers, and AI agent builders who need programmatic access to live consumer and professional context. The core product surface consists of a People Data API (Person Enrichment, Person Search, Person Deep Research), Company APIs (Enrichment, Search, Discovery, Employees, Intent, Funding), an Audience Builder, and Live Event Signal webhooks for life events such as new mover, job change, wealth event, and life stage transitions. Underlying the product is a unified knowledge graph that is continuously refreshed by the company's own autonomous AI agents crawling and verifying public digital footprints, with a stated 92%+ match rate and 184ms median enrichment latency.

The business model is API-first and usage-based at the entry tier (credits consumed only on meaningful matches, with a free sandbox), supplemented by enterprise data licensing and custom annual contracts for larger deployments. Go-to-market is product-led and self-serve through API documentation and a developer portal, with a sales-assisted motion for enterprise accounts requiring custom integration, higher rate limits, and dedicated support. Customer segments are horizontal and include B2B SaaS companies (lead generation and outbound automation), consumer brands (audience targeting and life-event triggers), agencies and resellers, sales and marketing teams (CRM enrichment), and AI recruiting platforms. Marketing is concentrated in educational and competitor-comparison content positioning Nyne.ai as a fresher, AI-native alternative to Apollo.io, ZoomInfo, PeopleDataLabs, Crustdata, and Clearbit. The company completed a $5.3 million seed round in March 2026 led by Wischoff Ventures and South Park Commons with angel participation from Gil Elbaz, following an earlier $400,000 South Park Commons tranche in September 2025; revenue is not disclosed and the platform only emerged from stealth in March 2026, making Nyne.ai a very early-stage venture whose commercial trajectory has yet to be validated.

• Crustdata: Real-time people and company data API focused on AI-native applications. Closest peer in freshness-first positioning, with overlapping developer audience and use cases around AI agent workflows.
• RocketReach: People and company data API serving similar developer and sales-tech customers with profile lookup and contact enrichment. Competes head-on for API-driven enrichment workloads.
• Cognism: B2B sales intelligence platform with a strong emphasis on compliant, verified contact data and intent signals. Comparable on intent-signal narrative and enterprise sales motion.
• Lusha: B2B contact data and enrichment platform with browser-extension and API delivery. Targets overlapping sales and revenue operations buyers with similar enrichment use cases.
• SalesIntel: B2B contact and company data provider with a research-verified data approach and intent signal offering. Comparable mid-market positioning and overlap in buyer intelligence use cases.

Broad incumbents
