Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Datanyze, a worldwide leader in technographic data, in its acquisition by Zoom Information, Inc., a B2B contact database company.

“Business data is rapidly changing and your data platforms must be built to adapt. ZoomInfo has the largest, most complete data set of companies and contacts and a goal to enable our customers to automate, process, curate, and present the data on-demand and in real-time. Delivering industry-leading technographics, the Datanyze technology will be a significant addition to help us deliver the right data, at the right time, to the right person,” Derek Schoettle, CEO, ZoomInfo, said.

Ilya Semin, CEO, Datanyze, added, “I am thrilled to be joining ZoomInfo at this time of tremendous growth in the organization. Bringing together our two organizations is a perfect union, combining Datanyze’s real-time technographic data with ZoomInfo’s unparalleled – and the industry’s most current – company and contact data.”
