The Swarm is a relationship intelligence platform founded in 2021 by David Connors (CEO) and Michal Bill, headquartered in San Francisco with approximately 9 employees. The company has raised $13.91M in total funding (as of August 2025), most recently closing an $8M funding round in May 2025 led by HubSpot Ventures, with participation from Motivate Ventures, TRAC VC, and backing from Sequoia Capital (first investor), Global Founders Capital, and Unpopular Ventures. The Swarm is rated 4.8/5 on G2 and ranked #1 on Product Hunt with nearly 800 upvotes.The core product is a relationship intelligence engine that maps companies’ and individuals’ extended professional networks in real-time, revealing 168 quadrillion relationships across a database of 580M+ people and 100M+ companies globally. The platform’s unique differentiator is scoring every connection by relationship strength and surfacing warm intro paths instead of relying on cold outbound. Data is continuously enriched with daily job change detection (updated instantly), LinkedIn connections, email and calendar signals, social posts and reactions, fundraising data with round history and investor networks, firmographic data, team size changes, and industry classifications. For developers and teams building AI agents, the Swarm offers live enrichment endpoints, a Network Mapper API for discovering warm paths, social engagement data retrieval, and relationship mapping technology all accessible via REST API, GraphQL, or the new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for direct integration with Claude and other LLM platforms.

Delivery spans multiple channels: the native SaaS web application for team collaboration, REST APIs and SDKs for developers, native integrations with HubSpot and Clay, connections to Attio, Airtable, Unify, Instantly, and Clarify, a Chrome extension for browser-based lookups, and MCP for AI agents. Use cases span sales teams replacing cold outbound with network-orchestrated revenue, recruiting platforms enriching candidate data with professional history and networks, investors sourcing deals through founder networks and portfolio company relationships, and AI agent builders automating warm intro discovery at scale. Pricing starts at $99/month for the SaaS platform with a free 30-day trial, and API access scales with usage. The company emphasizes that data is never rented or sold to third parties for advertising or promotional use — instead, it’s built to help teams unlock their collective company network and authentic relationships.
