Freckle.io, a promising data enrichment and AI research platform, has announced the successful completion of a $1.9 million pre-seed funding round. The funding will accelerate the development of a Clay alternative designed specifically for non-technical users, a tool aimed at making advanced data enrichment more accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Simplifying Data Enrichment with a Non-Technical Edge
Founded by Nathan Merzvinskis, Freckle.io emerged from a personal pain point he encountered as a founder and a broader challenge facing many B2B companies: the need for a simple, efficient way to determine if a person or company aligns with their product or service.
Freckle’s platform empowers users to enrich data and conduct AI-driven research effortlessly. Since its beta launch just five weeks ago, Freckle.io has already welcomed 232 customers. Users have embraced the platform for a wide range of applications, including generating hyper-targeted lead lists, identifying event attendees, sourcing candidates, and connecting with investors.
Strong Backing from Strategic Investors
The $1.9 million pre-seed round was led by Asymmetric, with additional support from Brenteca Investments, Mintaka, Coventures, and Polaris Ventures. Notable angel investors from industry giants such as Carta, Klaviyo, and Culture Amp also participated, underscoring the strong confidence in Freckle.io’s vision.
Building Momentum and Delivering Value
Freckle.io’s early success signals promising product-market fit, with key milestones achieved during its beta phase:
- Customer Growth: Over 230 customers onboarded.
- Product Ecosystem: Expanding connections to powerful data enrichment providers.
- Accessibility: Bringing advanced AI research tools to users without technical expertise.
The Road Ahead
Freckle.io aims to leverage its new capital to refine its platform further, broaden its customer base, and deepen partnerships with data enrichment providers. By democratising access to AI-driven research and enrichment, the company hopes to empower businesses to make more informed decisions and unlock new opportunities.
Nathan Merzvinskis expressed gratitude to the company’s supporters, investors, advisors, and early adopters who have been instrumental in Freckle.io’s journey so far. With a talented team and a mission to transform data enrichment, Freckle.io is poised to become a significant player in the space.
