Pulse operates a vetted community of more than 15,000 CIOs and other tech procurers and offers products that surface collective insights for vendors, researchers, and investors. Its core offering lets companies poll CIOs, test messaging, and generate rapid reports—Pulse delivered about 150 reports for roughly 50 customers last year. The company today launched Product IQ, which provides personalized product recommendations to CIOs based on continuous polling and survey data. Pulse positions itself as a real-time research tool for marketers and investors, with the CEO describing it as akin to a "Bloomberg terminal" for those audiences. The community is open to users at director level or above, and the platform is intended to improve enterprise technology decision-making. Financially, Pulse has raised $10.5 million in total funding, including a $6.5 million Series A closed in December. The company was founded in 2017 and is based in San Francisco. Pulse Q&A provides real-time, bite-sized data gathered from thousands of CIOs in its community to surface relevant conversations and crowdsourced data for executives. The platform is designed to help C-suite leaders make decisions based on current data and real-world experiences around innovation and spend. The company is co-founded by Mayank Mehta and Anand Thaker and is based in San Francisco, CA. Pulse Q&A raised a $4M seed round to support its growth. The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and broaden its business reach. The article does not disclose additional financial details beyond the $4M seed financing.
