Ask who can get you in, right where you already work.
Not what your CRM knows. What your people know.
Worked together, sat on the same board, recommended by name, live on the same street. Every path shows how two people know each other.
You have the access. You just can't see it.
Your target accounts are full of people someone on your team already knows. Meerkat shows who, how they know each other, and which path is strongest.

We Believe the Best Ideas Deserve Better Intelligence.
"I have spent my career believing that relationships are the most powerful force in business and in life. The intelligence to truly understand people has always been there, scattered and inaccessible. Meerkat brings it together for the first time, so that any builder, any idea, any dream has the human intelligence it deserves."
Our Vision
Make relationship capital something every company can count, grow and put to work.
Our Mission
Show every organization where its relationships are strong, where they're thin, and who to put to work.
Built by People Who Believe Ideas Deserve Better.
Founded at the intersection of data intelligence, relationships, and go-to-market strategy. Two experts who built this because they saw what was missing.
Ralph Schonenbach
Founder & CEO
Relationships & Data IntelligenceRalph loves building things: businesses, ideas, and especially relationships. After writing Relationships Matter, he saw what was missing: the intelligence to truly understand the people behind every connection. So he built Meerkat to put that intelligence at every builder's fingertips and power a new generation of ideas. He is most at home in nature, proudly obsessed with actual meerkats, and believes the best things in life happen when we genuinely look out for one another.
