Leadfeeder

Leadfeeder is a B2B lead generation and website visitor identification platform. A tracker script installed on a customer's website matches anonymous traffic to companies using an IP-to-company database, then enriches those companies with firmographic and contact data so marketing and sales teams can see which accounts are engaging with their content and what pages they view. The company positions the product around the premise that only a small share of website visitors convert through forms, and that the remaining anonymous traffic can be surfaced as qualified accounts.

The product is organized around several modules: Web Visitors for identifying companies behind anonymous visits and reading buying intent from on-site behavior; Companies for defining an ideal customer profile and building campaign audiences using firmographic, behavioral and intent filters; Lists for enriching company and contact records and syncing qualified leads into a CRM; and Campaigns for B2B display advertising aimed at ICP-matched accounts. Additional capabilities include automatic lead scoring based on web activity, custom feeds and alerts segmented by industry, geography, employee count, web activity and custom properties, campaign and channel attribution for identified companies, AI-assisted enrichment and qualification, and an API that customers use to pull visit metadata into their own data warehouses. The company states its data set covers 60 million companies and 400 million verified contacts and emphasizes B2B data collected under European data privacy standards.

Leadfeeder was launched in 2014 by CEO Pekka Koskinen together with colleagues from his earlier web analytics company Snoobi, which was acquired by Fonecta in 2012. The company is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, and operates with a distributed remote workforce; its founder profile also lists a base in Karlsruhe, Germany. Customer-facing material and reviews reference the Dealfront brand alongside Leadfeeder.

Founding story

Leadfeeder was launched in 2014 and founded by CEO Pekka Koskinen along with other key employees from his previous company, Snoobi, a web analytics tool widely used in Finland that was acquired by Fonecta in 2012. Koskinen framed the opportunity as a gap between web analytics and sales: while marketing had evolved toward marketing automation and remarketing, salespeople still had little visibility into how prospects and existing customers behaved online, and Leadfeeder set out to deliver that intelligence automatically into email and CRM systems. One source additionally names Herkko Kiljunen and Vicent Llongo as founders.

Business model

Subscription software sold to B2B companies, with a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card and paid plans thereafter. Customers install a tracking script and pay for ongoing access to visitor identification, company and contact data, enrichment and integrations.
