On Dec. 16, middle market private equity firm BV Investment Partners (BV) announced that they are making a strategic investment in Intentsify, an intent data software and solutions provider that helps businesses grow.
Co-founded by Mike Kelly, Eric Belcher, Marc Laplante, and Ed Laplante in 2018, Intentsify offers Intent Activation™ platform that tackles account-based marketing and sales strategies for more than a hundred B2B Fortune 500 businesses and high-growth middle-market customers. It does this by infusing and layering different types of buyer intent data to pinpoint buyer intentions and pain points. This information helps marketing and sales teams direct their resources to the best target accounts and choose appropriate channels to get in touch with them.
"Intentsify uses its proprietary technology backed by a global data science team to power numerous marketing, sales, and customer success use cases. Intentsify's co-founders have extensive experience in this field and are acknowledged thought-leaders in the intent data space who have built a strong company with an impressive leadership team, and we look forward to working with them to scale their business," shares Justin Harrison, Managing Partner of BV Investment Partners.

While talking about the importance of intent data to target accounts, Marc Laplante, Co-founder and CEO of Intentsify said, “B2B organizations are increasingly leveraging multiple sources of intent data to focus time, efforts, and resources where and how they'll have the most impact. The problem is that most B2B companies struggle to quickly gather, analyze, and act on buyer intent signals, which change on a weekly basis. Intentsify is streamlining all of this so our customers can more effectively scale account-based demand and revenue. We are excited to partner with BV, who understand our business and has the expertise to help us take Intentsify to the next level."
Commenting on the decision to invest in Intentify, Eric Ahlgren said, “BV and Intentsify have developed an exciting and ambitious growth plan, and we look forward to beginning this new partnership."
