ABOUT US

Made by Builders. For the Innovators Who Shape the Future.

We're builders who spent years wrestling with the same business data infrastructure challenges over and over again. We founded SavvyIQ to give teams a better choice: buy instead of build, so they can focus on delivering exceptional products to their customers instead of wrestling with data infrastructure.

The Problem We Lived

50+ Years of Collective Experience: With nearly 50 years of collective experience across the San Francisco Bay Area and Vancouver technology communities, our founding team has worked in SaaS, FinTech, InsurTech, Cybersecurity, and Identity Solutions at companies ranging from large enterprises to fast-growing startups.

In every role, at every company, we faced the same frustrating reality: there's no great solution for plug-and-play business data infrastructure. Teams are forced to choose between throwing armies of engineers at building systems from scratch, using subpar tools that don't deliver accuracy, or relying on manual processes that don't scale.

"The dirty secret of the data world? Most 'automated' data processes still have humans in the loop."

We've seen teams processing petabytes of data monthly while struggling with basic entity resolution. We've watched companies spend millions building internal data infrastructure that delivers inconsistent results.

The Discovery That Changed Everything

SavvyIQ started as an investigation into building an agent-based product. But during development, we discovered that existing business data tools were insufficient to provide the level of accuracy and trust required for mission-critical applications.

The Core Problem - Lack of canonical identity: When you search for business information, you often get what appears to be a precise result. But dig deeper, and you'll find it's actually a conflation of multiple entities that LLMs and search engines present as a single, authoritative answer.

This entity conflation breaks trust in environments where precision matters, which is everywhere business data is used for decisions, compliance, risk assessment, or customer experiences.

Our Approach

We're building what Stripe, Twilio, and Plaid built for their respective industries: infrastructure as a service that just works. Our composable, mix-and-match APIs let teams solve data infrastructure challenges without building and maintaining complex systems internally.

We automate the entire process from end to end - data ingestion, entity resolution, enrichment, and validation. While legacy providers bolt AI onto decades-old manual processes, we built automation into every layer from day one. The result: consistent accuracy, faster turnaround, and the ability to handle the messiest data that others can't.

We believe this represents a modern approach to how business data should work in technology companies. Instead of forcing teams to choose between building massive internal infrastructure or accepting inaccurate results, we provide a third option: reliable, usage-based business data infrastructure that scales with your needs.

Proven at Scale

Today, SavvyIQ powers critical business data infrastructure for companies ranging from SMBs to publicly traded enterprises with multi-billion dollar market caps, PE-backed companies worth billions, and VC-backed startups scaling rapidly. Our APIs are being used to:

  • Parse large volumes of legal and regulatory filings to extract and understand business entities at scale
  • Process financial transactions to get better fidelity on the businesses behind each transaction
  • Enhance procurement environments to understand vendor relationships within massive datasets
  • Normalize sales and marketing data to understand company relationships and hierarchies

In every case, we help teams handle business data at scale while delivering the accuracy and trust that modern applications demand.
