Every account in your territory sits on top of a graph. Your champions' former colleagues, your classmates, your execs' board seats, your neighbors. For every stakeholder you need to reach, the graph surfaces the warm path in — and the person who can make the introduction. The first relationship graph accessible by API, today.

Your tools log everything except what closes deals: relationships. Meerkat puts every warm path in your patch one query away — so you open with an introduction, not a sequence.

Ralph Schonenbach · Founder & CEO, Meerkat

What you get on day one

  • 500M profiles in the graph, with 50 to 200 verified relationship edges each
  • 5 signal types resolved at the contact level: career, education, board, neighbor, household
  • 200+ warm doors per contact — the buyers in your patch already one introduction away
  • 1 endpoint that lives inside the CRM and sequencer you already run

The Territory Math: one contact, two hundred warm doors

Every contact you have ever closed, championed, or worked beside is the starting node of a much larger graph. Five signals resolve at the contact level, and one name becomes two hundred warm doors into the accounts on your list.

  • 1 — a single name in your book: your champion, your customer, your colleague
  • × 5 — five edge types: career, education, board, neighbor, household
  • = 200+ — warm second-degree paths, ranked and queryable into the buying committee

Connect your book. The graph surfaces the doors into your accounts you did not know you had.

The Graph: five signals, one graph

Every meaningful relationship between any two people falls into one of five categories. Meerkat resolves all five at the contact level, refreshes them continuously, and serves them through a single endpoint, so any contact in your book can show you the buyers in their network and exactly who can introduce you.

  • Career · worked together — Same employer, overlapping tenure. Verified employment history matched at the contact level. Your champion's former teammate who now runs procurement at your target account. Resolves across name changes, role changes, and country moves.
  • Education · same school — Same cohort, same lab, same advisor. School, program, year, lab, advisor. The MBA section you share with the economic buyer. Includes residencies, fellowships, and executive programs.
  • Board · same room — Boards of directors, advisory councils, foundation trusts, industry committees. Your exec sponsor and their CFO, at the same table four times a year.
  • Neighbor · same block — Parcel-level property records and verified residential history. Resolves at the block, the building, the floor. The neighbor who is also the decision-maker you have chased for two quarters.
  • Household · same address — The adults who currently live at the same address, from verified consumer files. The co-resident who is also a buyer, the second name behind the front door. Adults only, current residence. Meerkat does not map family structure.
  • The path · any depth — Five signals become one queryable graph. Ask for the warm paths between you and any buying committee, across any combination of the five edges above, ranked by strength and freshness. The path is not a sixth signal. It is what the five become when you connect them.

Career and board, every sales-intelligence vendor has. Neighbor and current-resident signal, only Meerkat resolves, because only Meerkat has joined property and consumer data to the people layer. One endpoint, one view, and the warm path to every buyer your network can introduce.

The Plays: six plays, from first touch to close

The same graph backs every play you run, inside the tools you already work from.

  • Territory Planning — Before the quarter starts, see which accounts you can walk into and which you have to knock on. Spend your time where the doors already are.
  • Breaking In — Every target account checked for warm paths before you write a single cold line. The 2% reply rate becomes an introduction.
  • Multithreading — The graph shows who in your network knows whom on the committee — before your deal hangs on one champion.
  • Champion Tracking — When a champion moves, you hear it first. A new account just got warm, and you are the first rep who knows.
  • The Exec Intro — Late-stage deal stalling? The graph tells you which of your executives can reach their CFO, and exactly why the ask is credible.
  • Your AI Sidekick — Ask in plain language: who can introduce me to the CIO at Northwind? Your assistant answers from the graph, through MCP.

For Your Tools: inside the stack you already run

Meerkat OS is not another tab to keep open or another tool to log into. It is the relationship graph beneath the CRM and sequencer you already live in, refreshing in place, one query away.

Connectors live across CRM & Sales (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics, Affinity), Sales Engagement (Outreach, Salesloft), and AI Surfaces via MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, your AI assistant). Warm paths appear inside the tools you already run. Nothing new to learn, nothing extra to log.

Connect once. Every account view you open is current and complete, every warm path attached, in place. You see the graph, not one record at a time.

Get Started: a pilot on your own book

  1. Send us your patch. Your target accounts, your open opportunities, your book. Name and company is all we need; the format does not matter.
  2. We map the graph. Within days the same list comes back with every warm path into every account, ranked, and the introducer who can open each one.
  3. You see the lift. Cold outbound becomes warm introduction. Replies move first; meetings and pipeline follow. You see the relationships that were already yours.
  • Start with your own territory. No multi-year contract.
  • Your data stays yours. We enrich it. We do not resell it.
  • Lives inside the CRM and sequencer you already run.
  • Built for one rep's patch and a global org alike.
