What Industry Intelligence does

Industry Intelligence Inc. is a privately held, founder-led enterprise market intelligence company founded in 1999 (originally as Forestweb) and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company sells decision-ready, human-filtered market intelligence to industrial enterprises across packaging, pulp & paper, chemicals, consumer goods, building products, and forestry & timberland, with a named customer base of more than 2,000 industry leaders including Dow, General Mills, Amcor, Smurfit Westrock, Sealed Air, Weyerhaeuser, Church & Dwight, and Graphic Packaging. The platform serves corporate executives, market analysts, product managers, and procurement teams at large industrial companies that require continuous monitoring of regulatory, competitive, supply, demand, and innovation signals.

The company's core technology is the AI Workforce platform, built on more than 25 years of curated, source-tagged, and human-edited market intelligence. VORA, the proprietary AI orchestrator, routes questions to five specialist agents: COMPLY (regulatory exposure), NOVA (innovation and R&D), EDGE (competitive intelligence), ORION (supply and procurement), and VISTA (demand and macro). The platform uses a multi-model architecture leveraging OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Meta language models, and has processed more than 100 billion tokens in total, including 10 billion+ tokens through OpenAI (placing it among only 141 organizations worldwide at that scale). Delivery is native to email, Microsoft Teams, SMS, and dashboard, with every output cited and traceable. Adjacent products include the Legislation Monitor (weekly interactive legislative tracking across U.S. federal and state levels), Competitive/Edge, Customer/Insight, and Supplier/IQ modules.

The business model is enterprise subscription-based, with annual contracts for AI Workforce deployments scalable from a single seat to whole-organization rollouts. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, reflecting a positioning as a high-touch, curated intelligence service rather than a commodity data product. Go-to-market combines founder-led enterprise field sales, inside sales with one-business-day response, channel partnerships with industry associations (Sustainable Packaging Coalition, Flexible Packaging Association, Western Plastics Association), and a self-service demo motion for the Legislation Monitor. The company is bootstrapped and profitable with no disclosed external funding, reporting a 98% client retention rate.
