B2B contact data platform for finding phone numbers and emails of prospects. Paris France, acquired by Cognism, provides LinkedIn-integrated prospecting data for European SDR teams.
Kaspr is a B2B contact data platform that helps sales development representatives find phone numbers and email addresses of business prospects, with tight LinkedIn integration that allows data extraction directly from LinkedIn profiles. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Paris, France, Kaspr was acquired by Cognism to strengthen the combined entity's European contact data coverage and distribution through complementary product channels. Kaspr targets SDR teams seeking fast, LinkedIn-native access to prospect contact data.\n\nKaspr's Chrome extension integrates directly into LinkedIn, allowing SDRs to reveal contact details for prospect profiles with a single click without leaving the LinkedIn interface. The platform's contact data covers mobile phone numbers and professional email addresses for European and international business contacts. Contacts can be pushed to CRM systems and sales engagement platforms directly from the extension, reducing manual data entry in the prospecting workflow.\n\nFollowing its acquisition by Cognism, Kaspr operates as a complementary product in the Cognism portfolio — with Kaspr serving individual SDRs and smaller teams seeking affordable LinkedIn-native prospecting tools, while Cognism's enterprise platform serves larger revenue teams with bulk data exports, intent signals, and GDPR compliance infrastructure. The acquisition strengthened Cognism's coverage of French and broader European prospect data while adding a LinkedIn-integrated product channel to its portfolio.
Open-source observability leader with $6B valuation; Grafana dashboards plus Loki/Tempo/Mimir stack serving millions of installations as Datadog alternative with community-driven adoption.
Grafana Labs is the company behind Grafana — the world's most widely used open-source observability and data visualization platform — providing the Grafana Cloud managed service, Grafana Enterprise, and a suite of open-source tools including Loki (log aggregation), Tempo (distributed tracing), and Mimir (long-term Prometheus metrics storage). Founded in 2019 by Raj Dutt, Torkel Ödegaard, and Tom Wilkie (the creators of the original Grafana open-source project) in New York, Grafana Labs has raised over $600 million at a $6 billion valuation.\n\nGrafana's open-source project — downloadable and self-hostable for free — has driven extraordinary community adoption: millions of Grafana installations globally power engineering, IoT, and business dashboards at organizations from startups to large enterprises. Grafana's plugin ecosystem connects to 200+ data sources (Prometheus, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, AWS CloudWatch, databases), making it the universal observability visualization layer. Grafana Cloud packages the open-source tools into a fully managed SaaS offering with unlimited metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards.\n\nIn 2025, Grafana Labs competes in the observability platform market against Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, and the ELK/OpenSearch stack for enterprise monitoring and observability. Grafana's open-source-first model creates a moat through developer community and ecosystem — engineers who build personal dashboards on Grafana become advocates for Grafana Cloud at their employers. The company's OpenTelemetry alignment and multi-source data philosophy ("query any data, anywhere") differentiates it from Datadog's monolithic agent model. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing Grafana Cloud enterprise adoption, advancing AI-powered Sift (automatic anomaly investigation), and expanding the Grafana IRM (incident response management) product.
