Waltham-based ZoomInfo, which sells data about executives and companies to sales, marketing and recruiting professionals announced two acquisitions today: It acquired Israel-based, Y Labs to expand its center for product development and security operations and San Mateo-based technographic data provider, Datanyze.
The company did not disclose details about the deal. “As we look ahead, we see significant potential to create a world-class development capability in Israel that will allow us to harness leading artificial intelligence and security capabilities which translates into smarter services for our 7,500-plus customers," said CEO Derek Schoettle.
This transaction follows the recent opening of ZoomInfo’s new office in Ra’anana, Israel, which will accommodate the Y Labs team and allow for significant expansion in all areas.
The company has prior connections to Israel -- Yonatan Stern, the company’s founder and chief scientist planned his departure from the company in June 2018 in order to pursue other interests in his home country of Israel, as part of the terms of ZoomInfo’s sale to Great Hill Partners in August 2017.
Silicon Valley-based Datanyze uses machine learning and proprietary methodologies to capture the technologies that are being used or implemented by more than 35 million companies globally.
ZoomInfo also announced that it will move its headquarters in January of 2019.
