Today we are sharing hard news. After almost nine years, Explorium is ceasing operations.

We started Explorium believing in the power of AI for business, and that AI is only as good as the data behind it. As machine learning took off, we built a data enrichment platform that opened up a universe of data sources and signals, helping data professionals make better predictions and smarter decisions.

When machine learning became commoditized and the market shifted, we entered a period of change and rebuilding. With Omer stepping into the role of CEO, we pivoted early toward generative AI, trusting that AI agents would emerge as a new class of user, one that needs broad access to data.

Building on our infrastructure and partnerships, we launched AgentSource in early 2025, the first B2B data platform for go-to-market agents, serving a new wave of agentic GTM companies and platforms.

We also believed AI chat would become the future surface of work. We launched the first B2B data enrichment MCP, which quickly grew into Vibe Prospecting: the first standalone in-chat prospecting app, with more than 350,000 registered users. We loved putting B2B data and prospecting in everyone’s hands.

Thanks to an extraordinary team, we moved rapidly in a market undergoing real turmoil and kept growing this past year. In the end, it saddens us to say it all just wasn’t enough.

There are many people to thank.

To our customers, users and partners: thank you for your trust, for building alongside us, and for pushing us to always do better for you. We did our best to serve you well, and the team is reaching out directly with the details.

To our world-class investors: thank you for betting big on us, even when the path was uncertain.

And most personally, to our amazing team: you are the best we could have asked for. Your talent, grit and kindness made Explorium an incredible place, and you’ll make every place you go next better.

Building Explorium has been the privilege of our careers. Thank you.
