The NetProspex management team believes that sales prospecting can be made easier by providing the sales community with a way to share their combined knowledge. With backgrounds in business information and online publishing, we trust our networks for business contacts more than we do traditional executive directories or list-brokers who lack transparency, accuracy and comprehensiveness. NetProspex is funded by investors from the business publishing industry and is based in Boston, Massachusetts.
