What ProvenBase does

ProvenBase is an AI-powered talent intelligence platform that helps recruiting and sourcing teams discover and engage specialized, hard-to-find candidates beyond traditional job boards and professional networks. The platform's core technology is a Deep Search engine that scans thousands of non-traditional internet sources, complemented by NLP-based AI Chat Search, recommendation and candidate-cloning algorithms, predictive analytics for salary and skills insights, and GPT-powered dynamic outreach messaging. A specialized healthcare module gives the platform access to over 10 million healthcare professionals enriched with state medical board data, while additional modules cover Talent 360° profiles, Skills Spotlight, Diversity Sourcing, Advanced Analytics, ATS integration, and a Chrome Extension for third-party candidate enrichment. SOC 2 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and TRUSTe certifications support enterprise-grade procurement.

The company sells to enterprise and mid-market recruiting and sourcing teams, with healthcare as the primary vertical and eight secondary verticals including legal, manufacturing, financial services, IT, and government. Distribution is driven by a direct enterprise sales motion anchored on demo requests, supplemented by a Chrome Web Store extension for product-led reach. Revenue is generated through monthly and annual SaaS subscriptions with automatic renewal, a Sourcing Capability add-on, and a free trial funnel that converts to paid plans. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, ProvenBase has raised approximately $3.47M across five disclosed rounds through April 2023, signed Fortune 100 clients in healthcare and science by November 2025, and was recognized among the 150 most promising AI-driven startups by Google Cloud at SF Tech Week in October 2025.
