Cognism
B2B sales intelligence with phone-verified contacts and GDPR-compliant European data
💬 What is Cognism?
Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform that provides phone-verified contact data, account-level signals, and CRM enrichment for go-to-market teams. It is built for sales, marketing, and RevOps teams at SMB, mid-market, and enterprise companies that need accurate prospect data, with particular depth in European markets. The platform differentiates through manually and automatically verified mobile numbers, a compliance-first posture with Do-Not-Call coverage, and an MCP/API layer that exposes the dataset to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. Decision-maker records are refreshed every 30 days and enriched with intent, hiring, job-change, and funding signals so reps can prioritise accounts. Native integrations push data into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and other CRMs.
