Bottom line
Pursuit is a public-sector (SLED) revenue intelligence platform. It monitors 170K+ state, local, education and special-district entities and uses LLM signal extraction to surface buying signals 6-18 months before RFPs. Three products - Data Infrastructure, Workspace and Channel Partner - cover RevOps, sellers and demand-gen teams. Native bi-directional Salesforce and HubSpot sync, a Slack bot, a Chrome extension and an MCP server put intelligence where teams work. The vendor claims under two weeks to value.
Frequently asked questions
What does Pursuit actually do?
Pursuit monitors U.S. state, local, education and special-district entities and extracts early buying signals from public documents, agendas, budgets and procurement notices. It enriches public-sector accounts and contacts with 94% claimed data accuracy, then delivers them into Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack and a Chrome extension so sellers can engage 6-18 months before an RFP is published.
How quickly can we get value?
The vendor's integrations page states under two weeks to value. Connections are made via OAuth with no engineering required, and the vendor backs the platform with a guarantee of $1M in identified pipeline within 90 days or your money back.
How much does Pursuit cost?
Pursuit does not publish list pricing. The security page describes a SaaS model sold by seat with an annual platform fee, while Data Infrastructure is consumption-based and Channel Partner is transactional, billed per meeting booked or deal closed. Expect a custom quote.
Is our data used to train AI models?
The answer is not clean. Pursuit's security page states customer data is never used to train its models or any third-party foundation model, and that Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are contracted on terms prohibiting training on submitted data. The privacy policy separately says personal data may be used for product improvement, which may include training AI/ML models. Confirm scope in writing during procurement.
What security and compliance certifications does Pursuit hold?
Pursuit holds a SOC 2 Type 2 (Security category) report covering September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, examined by Insight Assurance, released under NDA. Pursuit explicitly states it is not ISO 27001 certified, is not FedRAMP authorized, is not HIPAA applicable and does not operate under GDPR because its data set is U.S. public record.
Does Pursuit replace our CRM?
No. It is designed to sit alongside the CRM. It offers bi-directional sync with Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics, plus a public API, webhooks and an MCP server, so intelligence and enrichment flow into the systems your team already uses.
