What 5x5 does

5x5 (legal entity 5x5 US, LLC; DBA "Five by Five") is a private, member-driven data cooperative headquartered in Austin, Texas, that operates a self-evolving identity graph connecting B2B and B2C data, personal and work devices, and online and offline actions. The platform is anchored by the Universal Person identity graph covering 285M+ individuals and is supported by a suite of 14 products across five categories: Person and Company data (Business Person, Consumer Person, Company Firmographics, Universal Talent), Behavioral Insight (Market Pulse), Reference and Validation (Email Validation, Phone Validation), Digital Linkage (Device Matrix 360, IP-Company, IP-HEM, IP-MAID, MAID-HEM, UP-HEM), and the Visitor Resolution Tag add-on. Members anonymously contribute exhaust data (emails, MAIDs, IP signals, offline data), which 5x5 validates through consensus from hundreds of first-party sources and redistributes to participants, producing a continuously refined data asset with 30B+ daily verification signals.

The underlying technology uses a three-tier waterfall resolution methodology combining first-party cookies, IP-based identification, and contextual analysis, with proprietary linkage products connecting Universal Person IDs to hashed emails, mobile ad IDs, and IP addresses. The platform integrates with AWS, Snowflake, S3, and major activation endpoints including The Trade Desk, Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

5x5 generates revenue through flat-rate membership subscriptions priced by business size and data needs, with members who actively share exhaust data paying reduced rates. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with channel partnerships embedding 5x5 data into DSPs, SSPs, and CRM platforms. The company serves MarTech, AdTech, HR Tech, Sales Tech, Fraud Prevention, and Finance/FinTech buyers, with named logos including ZoomInfo, RocketReach, and parent company Intentsify. In January 2026, parent Intentsify acquired Salutary Data to deepen B2B contact data quality. 5x5 maintains SOC2 Type I, GDPR, and CCPA compliance and reports 101-250 employees.

Core offering

5x5 operates a member-driven data cooperative that produces a continuously self-evolving identity graph connecting B2B and B2C data, personal and work devices, and online and offline actions into unified Universal Person IDs. Members anonymously share exhaust data back to 5x5, which is validated against hundreds of first-party sources and redistributed as a suite of data products spanning identity, intent, validation, firmographics, and digital linkage.

Product overview

5×5 is a member-driven data cooperative (data co-op) that provides a self-evolving identity graph connecting B2B and B2C data, personal and work devices, and online and offline actions. The platform operates on a platform-plus-products architecture: the core is the Universal Person identity graph (285M+ individuals), which is enhanced and enriched by a suite of specialized data products organized into five categories: (1) Person and Company products (Business Person, Consumer Person, Company Firmographics, Universal Talent) provide foundational contact and firmographic data; (2) Behavioral Insight products (Market Pulse) deliver intent signals from billions of daily observations; (3) Reference and Validation products (Email Validation, Phone Validation) ensure data accuracy; (4) Digital Linkage products (Device Matrix 360, IP-Company, IP-HEM, IP-MAID, MAID-HEM, UP-HEM) connect identifiers across channels and devices; and (5) the Visitor Resolution Tag add-on enables real-time website visitor identification. Members access unlimited data at fixed, predictable costs through full file delivery, with optional API-based topic pulls via the Market Pulse API.

• Intentsify (Parent Company)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Intentsify, the parent company of 5x5, acquired Salutary Data in January 2026 to add significant vertical depth to 5x5's data strategy. Salutary Data spent a decade perfecting B2B contact data quality, evaluating over 500M+ B2B contacts per quarter with only ~17% passing rigorous quality filters. This acquisition strengthens 5x5's identity layer by integrating Salutary's rigorous data validation processes and comprehensive U.S. B2B contact coverage, enabling cleaner and more accurate data, richer profiles, and more reliable activation for 5x5 customers and co-op members.
• Salutary DatacoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Acquired by 5x5's parent company Intentsify in January 2026. Salutary Data has spent a decade investing in B2B data quality, evaluating over 500M+ B2B contacts every quarter with rigorous validation processes. Their standards are so high that only about 17% pass quality filters. The acquisition brings a sophisticated engine for ecosystem growth to 5x5's product family, bypassing administrative bottlenecks associated with pre-processing.
• RocketReachcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 12 November 2025RocketReach, the leading sales and lead-intelligence platform trusted by over 26 million users and 95% of the S&P 500, announced a strategic partnership with 5x5 in November 2025. Through this collaboration, RocketReach customers gain access to advanced buyer-intent insights and higher-quality data sets powered by 5x5's identity graph and Intentsify's intent data. The partnership enhances RocketReach's ability to deliver verified, high-quality data enriched with behavioral and contextual insights, enabling customers to identify in-market prospects, understand intent, and engage with precision. The first wave of enhanced data capabilities rolled out to select RocketReach customers in Q4 2025, with additional integrations planned for 2026.
• ZoomInfocoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 November 2025ZoomInfo partnered with 5x5 to strengthen its data supply chain and enhance audience activation at scale. By connecting directly to the 5x5 Identity Graph, ZoomInfo eliminated the need for third-party intermediaries, creating a more streamlined and efficient supply chain. This direct connection enhanced ZoomInfo's ability to activate audiences efficiently through The Trade Desk's platform, taking full advantage of real-time onboarding and optimization capabilities. Results included cost elimination of variable third-party fees, increased audience volume and revenue through a larger, more complete identity graph, and unprecedented agility with near real-time audience onboarding.
