Influ2 is a New York-based B2B advertising platform that pioneered contact-level, or person-based, advertising - the ability to serve ads to specific named decision-makers inside target accounts rather than anonymous account-level audiences. Founded in 2017 by Dmitri Lisitski and Volodymyr Mikhalko, the company ties every ad impression, click, and site visit back to an individual, then feeds those signals to sales teams so they know exactly who is engaging and what to say. Influ2 has raised roughly $17 million, counts customers like Capgemini, AppsFlyer, Chargebee, and Amplitude, and has expanded from advertising into buying-group intelligence with products such as Signals Center and Audienscope.
Demandbase is a San Francisco-based B2B go-to-market software company that pioneered account-based marketing (ABM) and now runs Demandbase One, a unified platform combining account intelligence, intent data, advertising, sales intelligence and AI agents. It helps revenue teams identify in-market accounts, coordinate marketing and sales across channels, and turn buyer signals into pipeline. Founded in 2006 by Chris Golec and led by CEO Gabe Rogol, the company serves hundreds of enterprise B2B customers.
