Slintel

What Slintel does

Slintel was a B2B buyer intelligence company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Mountain View, California. The company's core product captured technographic-powered buying intent, combining technology-stack data with sales and marketing intelligence to help B2B organizations identify and prioritize in-market accounts. Its platform served sales intelligence, marketing intelligence, and buyer intelligence use cases for a horizontal B2B customer base.

Slintel reported 5X growth in both revenue and customer count in the year prior to its Series A funding round in June 2021, during a period of accelerated B2B digital transformation. The company raised approximately $26 million in total funding across multiple rounds, with the $20 million Series A led by GGV Capital in June 2021 representing its largest capital raise.

In October 2021, Slintel was acquired by 6sense, a B2B Revenue Intelligence platform, and the Slintel brand was subsequently retired. Slintel's technographic buyer intelligence capabilities were absorbed into 6sense's broader platform, which combines Signalverse data (processing a trillion daily datapoints), predictive modeling, and a suite of AI agents (RevvyAI, Email Agents, Advertising Agents, Sales Copilot) to serve enterprise sales and marketing organizations globally.

Core offering

Slintel operated a B2B buyer intelligence platform that captured technographic-powered buying intent to help companies identify potential buyers in their target market. The platform specialized in tracking and analyzing technographic data so sales and marketing teams could surface high-intent accounts. Following its October 2021 acquisition by 6sense, Slintel's technographic buyer intelligence technology was absorbed into 6sense's AI-driven account-based marketing platform and the Slintel brand was retired.

The core Sales Intelligence product serves as the primary interface for sellers, integrating with workflows via CRM, SEP, and Chrome browser. The platform is powered by Signalverse data intelligence and enhanced by AI capabilities including RevvyAI (conversational interface), Email Agents, Advertising Agents, Sales Copilot, and Account Prioritization. Supporting features include Intent Data, B2B Buyer Data, Company & People Search, List Builder, Intelligent Workflows, and Chrome Extension. The platform covers 500B+ intent signals, 750M+ buyer profiles, and 111M+ verified business emails across 200+ countries. Note: Slintel was acquired by 6sense in October 2021 and its technographic buyer intelligence was absorbed into this platform.
