Cognism's platform uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to enrich CRM records, identify customer trends and stream leads into the funnel. In September 2025, Dominic Allon (former Pipedrive CEO and ex-Google/ex-Intuit executive) became permanent CEO with Chris Evans appointed CRO. The company serves a strong European customer base with particular strength in GDPR-compliant phone number coverage and intent data sourced through Bombora.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Revenue growth of 30% YoY (from $64M to $83M in FY2024) with approximately 467-481 employees demonstrates healthy scaling. Recent leadership transition (September 2025) and strategic executive additions position the company for renewed growth momentum, though past valuation downturn and U.S. market coverage gaps require monitoring.
