LeadGenius
LeadGenius is a Berkeley-based B2B contact-data and buyer-intelligence company that blends machine learning with a globally distributed team of human researchers to build custom, compliance-first datasets for revenue teams. Rather than reselling a static database, it sources contact and account data on demand for each client, verifying every record before delivery, and layers in signals like role changes, technographics and buying-committee mapping. Spun out of the crowdsourcing startup MobileWorks in Y Combinator's 2011 class, the company pairs its data business with a social mission: it was the first crowdsourcing firm to tie worker pay to local living wages.
Jonathan Sherry
Jonathan Sherry is the CEO and co-founder of Alium, a New York-based buyer intelligence platform that replaces pay-to-play analyst ratings with structured, AI-analyzed interviews from real enterprise practitioners. A Columbia MBA and Penn engineering grad, Sherry previously co-founded CB Insights alongside Anand Sanwal - building it from a near-shuttered startup in 2009 into the venture industry's premier market intelligence platform with 250+ employees and eight-figure revenue. Alium, which operated in stealth for four years before publicly launching in January 2025 with $7M in seed funding from Greycroft and Primary Venture Partners, has already conducted 1,000+ in-depth vendor performance interviews with decision-makers at companies including Walmart, Nike, Marriott, and Spotify.
