Lusha

1177 Avenue of the Americas 5th Floor, New York, 10036, United States

Overview

Lusha operates a crowdsourced database and suite of tools — including a browser extension, prospecting filters, API and integrations — that help sales and marketing teams discover business contact and company information. The platform is community‑driven: users contribute and validate entries, which Lusha says improves data accuracy and depth. Lusha reports a user community of more than 800,000 sales professionals, 273,000 sales organizations and a database of over 100 million business contacts. The company runs a freemium model with paid subscriptions unlocking additional features and data. Lusha is GDPR‑aligned and CCPA‑compliant and notifies people when they are added so they can edit or remove business contact information. Management says its growth rate has tripled since raising its first outside funding and it plans to invest in data infrastructure, new features, privacy compliance and U.S. expansion with the new capital. Lusha provides a cloud-based platform that enables salespeople to share accurate contact and company information with each other. The platform also recommends relevant prospects and organizations, eliminating cumbersome research and allowing salespeople to focus on selling. Its community-driven validation model helps ensure high data accuracy. The company reports a community of over 520,000 sales professionals and 167,000 sales organizations, from sole traders and mid-sized firms like Aircall and Zendesk to Fortune 500 companies including Google and Dropbox. Founded in 2016 by Assaf Eisenstein and Yoni Tserruya and based in Tel Aviv, Lusha plans to use the funds to further grow its sales community and make accurate data accessible to B2B sales professionals through simple, cutting-edge sales technology. The company recently raised $40M in a Series A from PSG.
