The Pipeline Group

What The Pipeline Group does

The Pipeline Group (TPG) is a privately held B2B sales development provider founded in 2017 by Ken Jisser and headquartered in San Jose, California. The company delivers an outsourced SDR-as-a-Service model that pairs dedicated sales development teams with proprietary AI technology, 28+ integrated data sources, and a full go-to-market tech stack to generate predictable pipeline for B2B technology clients. TPG serves more than 125 companies across cybersecurity, SaaS, and enterprise software, including private equity operating partners managing portfolio companies. The company's flagship offering is a full-funnel SDR engagement covering outbound calling, email, and LinkedIn outreach, priced on an all-inclusive annual subscription basis with quote-based rates.

TPG's core technology is a propensity modelling platform that ingests 1000+ firmographic, technographic, and behavioral signals from 28+ data providers to score accounts by conversion likelihood and prioritize SDR outreach. The platform is complemented by an AI Dialer for automated outbound calling, a Bloomberg Terminal-style Control Plane Dashboard for real-time pipeline reporting, and a suite of eight Salesforce-native tools (Lead Assignment, Account Matcher, Predictable Pipeline, TPG Data Automation, TPG Referrals, TPG Conversation Guide, LAMP Task Activity Outcome, Contact Role Validations) that embed TPG's workflow into client CRMs. Conversation analysis continuously refines messaging, timing, and channel strategies. Propensity Modelling is also offered as a standalone product, enabling clients to license the AI engine without the full managed service. The company claims a 3.5x average ROI for clients and emphasizes a $300K-per-SDR hidden cost narrative to justify the all-inclusive pricing model.

TPG operates as a remote-first organization with 500+ employees across North America and stated operational reach into EMEA and APAC. The company has scaled without disclosed external funding, growing from a founding team of three in 2017 to its current size through organic revenue. It has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies for five consecutive years (2021-2025), ranked No. 4064 in 2025, and was named an Inc. 2025 Power Partner. In January 2026 TPG made its first-ever executive hires for CMO and General Counsel roles, formalizing leadership ahead of continued scaling. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
