CompareNetworks, Inc. is a South San Francisco-based B2B media and technology company that helps science, laboratory, and healthcare professionals stay informed, discover products, and make purchasing decisions. Through vertical marketplaces such as Biocompare, Labcompare, Dentalcompare, and American Pharmaceutical Review, it connects buyers with manufacturers using searchable product directories, editorial content, email, video, and print - generating qualified sales leads for science and healthcare brands.
Paul Gatti is co-founder and CEO of CompareNetworks, a South San Francisco-based B2B media and technology company he built from a postdoc's side project into a 12-brand portfolio serving 8 million science and engineering professionals. Trained as a microbiologist at Tulane and UCSF, Gatti pivoted from the bench to the boardroom around 2000, assembling a media empire that connects buyers and sellers across life sciences, pharma, engineering, and industrial sectors. Under his leadership, CompareNetworks has grown via strategic acquisitions — GlobalSpec in 2020, Gulf Energy Information in 2025 — backed by Main Street Capital since 2019.
