Visionary Sponsor

The idea for Gazelle.ai started in early 2015 as an itch to improve methods of gathering sales intelligence to drive improvements in deal conversion. The amount of legwork, model building, and number-crunching needed to find and engage with quality leads just seemed completely insane. From our perspective, a quality lead is a company that is growing and an active buyer of goods and services. While there is a ton of data out there, none of it helped us identify early signals of corporate growth. And that is where the journey of Gazelle.ai started. A desire to take the myriad of data and to make sense of it through machine learning to surface great leads: growth companies. Gazelle.ai was designed from the ground up to help business development professionals work smarter and faster and to get those professionals in front of the right companies with the right information at the right time.
