The Swarm
The Swarm is a Go-To-Network platform for companies and investors using relationship data for sales, recruiting and fundraising. Its web app lets teams search a shared network, review connection strength and request email introductions. Users can import LinkedIn connections, Google contacts and Google Calendar connections, and add former colleagues identified from work history. The platform describes a database of 580M+ people, daily-refreshed job data and real-time job-change monitoring across 100M+ profiles. Company information covers 100M+ companies, including funding rounds, investor networks, valuation tracking, team-size changes, locations and industries. Teams can organize prospects with collaborative pipelines, lists, tags and role-based access controls. Integrations include HubSpot and Clay; API and MCP access connect a Swarm network to tools and LLM workflows. The site says its MCP integration provides AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude access to live relationship and company data. The free plan includes 10 connectors but no API access. Premium costs $99/mo per company and includes 50 connectors and 12,000 API credits; extra credits cost $0.10 each.
