What is The Swarm?
The Swarm is a network intelligence platform that helps sales teams, recruiters, and fundraisers find warm introduction paths through existing relationships. It maps connections across a database of over 580 million profiles and 100 million companies, using AI to analyse work history, alumni ties, investor relationships, LinkedIn activity, and email and calendar signals. Rather than cold outreach, The Swarm identifies the strongest existing connection routes to your target contacts, making introductions more likely to succeed. The platform tracks job changes daily and provides enriched profile data, integrating with popular tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Gmail, and Clay. It's designed with GDPR and CCPA compliance built in from the start.
