The DiscoverOrg acquisition of NeverBounce was in the works for six months and began with DiscoverOrg’s search for a verification vendor that could better handle large scale processing.  “It’s a core competency we wanted to own,” said DiscoverOrg CEO Henry Schuck.

DiscoverOrg is retaining the NeverBounce team of fifteen, but shuttering its smaller Salt Lake City office with employees being relocated to Cleveland. The acquisition was announced on March 5th.

NeverBounce 2018 revenue was $4 million and included both B2B and B2C marketing file enhancement revenues.  Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

NeverBounce will continue as both a standalone offering and be integrated into the merged DiscoverOrg / Zoominfo platform.  The combined platform is planned for launch in five months.

“When we made the ZoomInfo acquisitions, the promise was that this would strengthen differentiators around the quality of data we deliver.  The NeverBounce acquisition is a very clear incremental addition to that value.  It helps us enhance the quality of information we deliver immediately.”

DiscoverOrg President Katie Bullard

If you count Zoominfo’s September acquisition of Datanyze, DiscoverOrg has acquired three companies in the past six months.  The transaction doubled the company headcount to around 1,000 employees.  But Schuck isn’t closing the door on acquisitions saying that he will be opportunistic in his approach.

“There are a lot of companies in our space that we follow,” he said.  “If the opportunity is right, we have been quick to do acquisitions.  There’s a big opportunity for consolidation in our industry so that customers don’t have to go to 19 different vendors for data and data cleansing needs.”
