About Cognism
Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform that differentiates itself with phone-verified mobile numbers (Diamond Data) and strong European data coverage. It provides a database of business contacts and companies with built-in compliance tools for GDPR and other data privacy regulations.
The platform offers a Chrome extension, web application, and integrations with major CRMs and sales engagement tools. Its Bombora-powered intent data helps teams identify accounts showing buying interest.
Cognism is particularly popular among European sales teams and organizations selling into EMEA markets, where its data coverage and compliance features provide a meaningful advantage over US-centric competitors.
