RocketReach set out to make professional connections faster and easier—by combining accurate contact data with a powerful search experience. What started as a simple idea has grown into a platform used by millions; fueling prospecting, recruiting, fundraising, and more. Today, we’re proud to celebrate a decade of transformation, innovation, and customer success.
A Decade of Innovation:
From the start, RocketReach was driven by a clear purpose to make it easier for people to build meaningful connections, with speed, accuracy, and scale at the heart of everything we do. Our co-founders, Andrew Tso and Amit Shanbhag, both experienced software engineers, recognized a major gap in how professionals accessed contact data. By developing a fast and efficient search engine to process vast amounts of public web data, they laid the foundation for one of RocketReach’s core advantages and early success.
After extensive testing and validation, they bootstrapped the company with a clear vision: to build a faster, more reliable way for professionals to connect with the right people. Listening closely to customers helped us prioritize what mattered most, fuel rapid iteration, sharpen our product focus, and achieve early product-market fit across a wide set of use cases.
What began as a two-person engineering effort has since evolved into a global platform and team. Over the years, RocketReach has grown from a search tool into a powerful lead and sales intelligence solution that offers high quality contact data, enriched profiles, real-time insights, and automated outreach tools that help teams save time and drive results.
RocketReach was born to make connecting with people easy. We’ve spent the last 10 years building smarter, faster ways to make that possible.

Momentum That Speaks for Itself:
This last decade has brought incredible milestones:
- Over 26 million users served across recruiting, sales, marketing, and fundraising
- Data spanning 700 million professionals and 60 million companies
- Customers in over 100 countries, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises

What’s Next:
The future of prospecting is being reshaped by AI, automation, and the demand for real-time intelligence. At RocketReach, we’re building for that future by focusing on intelligence, data quality, and simplicity.
We’re doubling down on innovations to help teams move even faster, connect more effectively, and do more with less complexity. Our roadmap is driven by one goal: to make high-performance prospecting accessible to every team, no matter their size or stage.
AI and automation are transforming how teams connect and RocketReach is building for that future. We’re delivering faster, smarter, more intuitive tools that cut through the noise and help companies grow faster.
