What Autobound does

Autobound is a B2B signal intelligence company that aggregates and processes 700+ signal types from 35+ public data sources — including SEC EDGAR, LinkedIn, USPTO patent records, job boards, Glassdoor, Reddit, GitHub, news feeds, and earnings call transcripts — into structured, timestamped, source-attributed events resolved to company and contact entities. The platform spans 250M+ contacts and 50M+ companies, with a six-stage pipeline (Ingest, Extract, Normalize, Enrich, Resolve, Deliver) that applies AI-driven extraction, entity resolution, and enrichment to produce a canonical signal schema consumable via REST API (sub-200ms response), scheduled GCS/S3 file push, or OEM white-label embedding. The product is positioned as the data layer beneath AI-native GTM tools, including an MCP Server for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf, and OpenAI function-calling integration for GPT-4o agents.

Autobound monetizes through three streams: usage-based credit consumption on the Signal API (1 credit per buyer-intent contact, with auto top-up and 1,000 free credits for new signups), annual subscription packages tailored to GTM and data engineering teams, and OEM licensing fees for embedding signal data into third-party platforms. Documented OEM customers include TechTarget Priority Engine (500K+ leads activated) and RocketReach (30M+ users, 95% of S&P 500 coverage), with additional named enterprise customers including ZoomInfo, 6sense, Informa, Clay, Instantly, Skuid, Oppy, and Warmly. Go-to-market is hybrid: self-serve API signup complemented by enterprise field sales for OEM and large accounts, with channel distribution through CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), sales engagement (Outreach, Salesloft, Instantly), automation (Clay, n8n), and AI tool integrations.

The company was founded in 2018, is incorporated as Autobound AI, Inc. in Delaware, and is headquartered at 1225 Columbus Ave Unit 204 in San Francisco. Leadership comprises co-founder and CEO Daniel Wiener, co-founder and COO Kyle Schuster, and CTO Eric Hamer. The company has raised a disclosed $4M Series A (February 2023, led by Dundee Venture Capital with Founder Institute participation), holds SOC 2 Type II compliance, and reports a lean headcount in the 1–10 range. Notable strategic assets include the Intent Initiative — a cooperative predictive intent engine built on closed-won outcome data — and a 2026 data partnership with 5x5 adding 6B+ daily behavioral signals and 310M+ Universal Person IDs to the resolution graph.
