Relationship Science

What Relationship Science does

RelSci (Relationship Science LLC) is a relationship capital intelligence platform that aggregates proprietary, research-driven data on more than 100 million profiles of influential decision makers and organizations across public, private, financial, and nonprofit sectors. Founded in 2010 and launched as a product in 2013, the company maintains a dataset covering 4 billion+ connections, 4 million+ company profiles, 9 million+ senior decision makers, and 1.7 million+ organizations, refined through a proprietary mapping algorithm developed over more than 20 years. RelSci operates as a subsidiary within the Altrata portfolio (part of Delinian Limited, formerly part of Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC), which also includes BoardEx, Boardroom Insiders, WealthEngine, and Wealth-X.

The platform is delivered through three core products: the RelSci Platform (featuring Path Finder for relationship mapping, 50+ search filters, profile analysis, and 360° Alerts), the RelSci API (for embedding intelligence into CRM and proprietary systems with TLS-encrypted, WAF-protected endpoints), and Radar (a July 2024-launched contact intelligence tool that uses Microsoft Exchange email and calendar interactions to calculate relationship strength and produce pre-meeting briefings). Off-the-shelf integrations with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics extend the platform into enterprise CRM workflows, while research-driven content products such as the Billionaire Census and Global Gender Diversity Report serve as flagship demand-generation assets.

RelSci serves approximately 3,300 clients across three primary verticals — corporations (including Fortune 1000), financial institutions (investment banks, private equity, wealth managers, hedge funds), and nonprofits and higher-education institutions. Revenue is 96% subscription-based recurring, structured across Lite, Pro, and Enterprise tiers with quote-based pricing on annual or multi-year contracts. The company reports a 93% net renewal rate and double-digit growth in book of business over the past several years. Distribution blends enterprise field sales (personalized demos and dedicated account managers), API and CRM integration, and self-serve trial access, supported by a global research team of 400+ professionals across seven countries.

Emerging players

• Lusha: Lusha provides B2B contact data and sales intelligence with browser-extensible data enrichment. It overlaps with RelSci's contact data add-on and CRM enrichment functionality, targeting similar sales and business development users at typically lower price points.
• 4Degrees: 4Degrees is an AI-powered relationship intelligence platform focused on capturing and scoring professional networks via email and calendar integrations. It directly competes with RelSci's Radar capability in the relationship-strength auto-population category and is mentioned alongside RelSci in industry coverage.
• People Data Labs: People Data Labs provides B2B person and company data via API for developers building people intelligence applications. It is comparable to RelSci API as a backend data provider, though without the curated relationship mapping layer RelSci applies to its proprietary dataset.

Direct peers

• Affinity: Affinity is a relationship intelligence platform purpose-built for venture capital, private equity, and investment banking workflows. It directly competes with RelSci in the financial institutions segment by auto-capturing relationship data from email/calendar and surfacing warm introduction paths for deal sourcing.
• Apollo.io: Apollo.io is a sales intelligence and engagement platform combining a B2B contact database with outreach automation. It overlaps with RelSci's contact data add-on, similar prospects functionality, and CRM integration use cases, serving similar mid-market and enterprise sales organizations.
• ZoomInfo: ZoomInfo is a leading B2B contact and company intelligence platform serving enterprise sales, marketing, and recruiting teams. It overlaps with RelSci on contact data, company profiles, and CRM enrichment, though ZoomInfo focuses more on direct firmographic/contact data while RelSci specializes in relationship mapping.
• BoardEx: BoardEx is a sister company under Altrata focused on board director and executive relationship data. It directly competes with RelSci in the corporate governance and board member identification use cases, with the two products often jointly positioned in Altrata's enterprise offering.

Broad incumbents

• Demandbase: Demandbase is an account-based marketing platform with relationship intelligence and intent data capabilities. It overlaps with RelSci's enterprise targeting and relationship mapping for B2B sales and marketing teams, though Demandbase's core focus is ABM orchestration.
• Salesforce Einstein / Sales Cloud: Salesforce integrates AI-driven relationship and opportunity intelligence into its CRM ecosystem. As both a partner to RelSci (Salesforce investor and integration partner) and a potential competitor through embedded AI features, Salesforce represents the broadest incumbent competing for relationship intelligence workflow real estate.
• LinkedIn (Sales Navigator): LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the dominant relationship intelligence and sales prospecting platform used by enterprise sales teams globally. It competes with RelSci by providing network mapping, lead recommendations, and warm introduction paths, though at a much broader scale and lower price point than RelSci's enterprise tier.
