Firmable: The Melbourne Startup Building Australia’s B2B AI Data Layer
In March 2026, Melbourne-based Firmable raised $14 million in a Series A round to fund expansion into the US market. If you haven’t heard of them, you’re not alone — Firmable operates in the B2B data space, which is unglamorous but commercially significant. Here’s what they’ve built and why it matters.
The Problem They’re Solving
B2B sales teams need accurate, up-to-date information about the companies they’re trying to sell to: who the decision-makers are, how big the company is, what technology they use, whether they’re growing or contracting, and whether they’re likely to need what you’re selling. In the US, tools like ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator provide this. In Australia, the data coverage of these US tools is poor — Australian business data is patchy, out of date, and often inaccurate in US-built platforms.
Firmable built an Australian-first B2B data platform: comprehensive, accurate, up-to-date business intelligence on Australian companies, enriched with AI.
What Firmable Does
Firmable’s platform combines:
- Company data: Comprehensive database of Australian businesses including size, revenue, technology stack, growth signals, and contact information
- AI enrichment: Machine learning models that predict buying intent, identify similar companies to your best customers, and flag companies that are likely to be in-market for specific solutions
- Contact data: Verified contact information for decision-makers, updated continuously
- Construction database: Launched in 2024, a specific database mapping Australian construction companies and projects — a market-specific data asset with no equivalent
The $14M Series A
The March 2026 Series A round was led by prominent Australian venture investors. The capital is earmarked primarily for US expansion — taking the playbook that worked in Australia to the much larger US market, where Australian-owned B2B data startups don’t currently have a strong presence. It’s a significant bet: the US B2B data market is dominated by well-capitalised incumbents, but Firmable’s AI-first approach and the quality of their data infrastructure gives them a differentiated starting position.
Relevance for Australian Small Business
For Australian small businesses in B2B sales — professional services, SaaS, consulting, manufacturing — Firmable is a practical tool worth evaluating. If you sell to other businesses and want better intelligence on who to target and when, Firmable provides a level of Australian business data quality that US alternatives can’t match. The AI layer — intent signals, lookalike company identification — makes it more than a contact database.
