Kompass

Kompass operates a hybrid data-platform, publisher and services model. It aggregates and maintains a large international database of company and executive information, exposes that data through a searchable directory and then converts business demand into revenue via subscription access, promoted placement, advertising inventory and managed campaign services. The platform creates value by helping buyers discover suppliers and helping suppliers become discoverable, while also packaging the underlying data for prospecting, segmentation and market-entry use cases.

Kompass is a France-headquartered B2B company information and lead-generation platform operator. It runs a global online directory and database of companies, products and business contacts, then monetises that data through prospecting software, paid visibility products, display advertising and managed marketing services for businesses seeking leads, awareness and export opportunities.

Its customers are businesses rather than consumers: sales teams, marketers, SMEs, exporters and business development functions use Kompass to find suppliers, build prospect lists, run outreach and improve visibility inside the Kompass ecosystem. The company combines publisher-style discovery surfaces on Kompass.com with subscription software and service-led commercial offerings built on its proprietary company database.
