Limelight operates a marketplace that lets B2B brands discover and contract with niche professional influencers—starting with creators who have 10,000 or more LinkedIn followers—to improve awareness and conversion versus traditional ads. The platform is free for creators, while brand subscriptions begin at $500 per month and carry no transaction fees, positioning Limelight as roughly twenty times cheaper than a typical agency. Rich performance data is provided so marketing leaders can track ROI and tie influencer spend to attributable pipeline. Early customers already include ZoomInfo, HubSpot, and Webflow. Founded by serial entrepreneur David Walsh, the company is currently four people but will add engineers and a head of growth following fresh capital injections. Walsh intends to keep the team lean while using the new funds to accelerate product development and customer acquisition. To date, Limelight has secured up to €1 million from winning the SaaStock Europe Global Pitch Competition and an additional €2 million from Silicon Valley Angels, giving it resources to scale its quality-over-quantity approach to B2B influencer marketing.
