The companies’ products and networks will combine into a best-of-both-worlds offering that builds and powers the next generation of AI tools for sales, marketing, and partner ecosystems.
Crossbeam, the Philadelphia-based Ecosystem-Led Growth platform, announced that Reveal, the Paris-based Nearbound Revenue platform, would be joining forces with the company in an all-stock transaction. The combined company, which will be called Crossbeam, will lead a new category of go-to-market software that enables marketing, sales, and partnerships teams to leverage their partner ecosystems to attract, convert, and grow customer relationships.
The two companies will combine their innovative product offerings and user networks to create an unparalleled scale of ecosystem data and insights from over 25,000 companies globally. The unified network will represent the world’s largest repository of ecosystem data, a critical input to all AI systems used by go-to-market teams. The transaction builds further on the two companies’ strategic product integrations with AI leaders including Gong, Salesforce, HubSpot, and others. Crossbeam will also build its own AI-driven products powered by the network.
