The State of Data and Prospecting APIs

About this report

Nobody has ever bought a prospecting database through a dashboard. The data layer of go-to-market was an API business before the phrase existed — the product is a record, the delivery mechanism is a call, and a vendor who cannot deliver records programmatically does not have a product. This is the largest area in revenue software and one of the most callable.

234 companies. Kin Score median 55.5, Agent Readiness median 49.1. 57 reach the Exemplar band; 40 sit in Emerging or Minimal. Every one of them is named and ranked in the report — if you work in this market, you are in the table, and so is everyone you compete with.

This area publishes contracts at a higher rate than the market around it and still fails every delegation dimension. The data moves; the permission to act on it does not.
