About
Bombora is a New York-based B2B intent data company that operates a data cooperative of over 5,000 premium B2B content publisher websites, tracking what topics companies are researching across this network to surface intent signals for marketing and sales teams. When a company's employees are collectively consuming significantly more content than usual on topics like "cloud security," "CRM software," or "marketing automation," Bombora surfaces that company as showing elevated intent — an early signal of an active buying process. These topic-level intent signals are used by B2B marketers and sales teams to prioritize outreach, personalize messaging, and trigger marketing automation sequences for the accounts most likely to be in-market. Bombora's data is available through direct API access and integrated natively into Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and dozens of sales and marketing tools. Founded in 2014, Bombora raised over $100M from investors including Crosslink Capital and Allegis Capital, and occupies a unique position as a neutral intent data supplier that feeds into competing ABM and sales platforms.
