A B2B data platform scores and routes sales prospects so enterprise teams spend less time researching accounts.
12 customers · $2K–$6K monthly pricing
The data itself is easy to buy; companies pay thousands each month for a scoring layer that tells sales teams which accounts deserve attention first.

ScaleStack is a bootstrapped B2B data platform founded by Elio Narciso and a cofounder, who had experienced the sales research problem at prior companies. It combines external company data with tools that model a customer's ideal customer profile and score accounts against it. The founders use sources such as LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and PitchBook, then help customers prioritize the best-fit accounts and move enriched data into existing sales workflows. Narciso says the business grew from about $9,000 in monthly recurring revenue at the end of its first year to almost $40,000 MRR, with 12 customers and an eight-person team, including three engineers. Most customers pay $2,000–$6,000 per month after a three-month paid trial; the founder says 90% of trials convert to annual contracts. Customers include public technology companies and Series B startups structuring B2B sales operations. One early customer left, and Narciso says smaller companies before product-market fit were harder to retain. The product expands through seats, data sources, and APIs.
For a sales intelligence platform priced at $2,000–$6,000 per month, start with teams that already feel the cost of account research: B2B technology companies with a defined ideal customer profile, a sales team, and enough pipeline to justify better prioritization.

Data credibility: Founder interview with Elio Narciso; revenue, pricing, customer count, trial conversion, team size, and churn are founder-reported and unaudited. He reports almost $40,000 MRR, 12 customers, $2,000–$6,000 monthly pricing, and 90% conversion from three-month paid trials to annual contracts. The host's $9,000 MRR baseline is repeated in the interview's closing recap. The transcript does not identify a dashboard or third-party source verifying these figures. Company geography is not stated in the transcript.
At this price point, the first dollar should arrive through a paid evaluation rather than an open-ended free data test. ScaleStack uses a three-month paid trial so both sides can see whether its account model matches the customer's ideal customer profile; Narciso says most customers then convert to annual contracts.
The platform's compounding loop begins when better account scoring produces a list reps trust. Sales teams act on the highest-fit accounts, operations sees the workflow gain traction, and the buyer can justify adding seats, data sources, or APIs that move the information into more systems.
Enterprise sales data products can feel quiet between an initial demo and a buyer's decision because sales teams need time to test account quality inside a live pipeline.
