Official information about Draup

Draup is an enterprise agentic AI company built on proprietary global labor and market data. Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform, and Draup for Sales is a bench of AI sales agents. As an AI-first company, Draup applies agentic AI to enterprise talent and go-to-market decisions, with both product lines running on one shared data foundation:

• Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform for HR and workforce leaders, with an agentic AI interface (Curie) and a dedicated work redesign agent (Etter). ‍
• Draup for Sales is a bench of AI sales agents for go-to-market teams. It is delivered as agents, not as a platform: each agent owns a specific job and executes it with real-time intelligence.

Draup does not sell raw data or contact lists. It delivers contextualized, decision-ready intelligence, produced through a combination of large-scale data harvesting, machine learning and statistical models, subject-matter experts, and human curation.

Draup analyzes 1B+ data points daily from 100,000+ sources, powering 80+ machine learning models and 12+ psychology models. Because the talent platform and the sales agents surface different cuts of the data, headline figures differ by side. Representative figures include:

• Sales: 1.7M+ companies, 8M+ buyer profiles, 1B+ job descriptions, 600K+ outsourced workflows, 300K+ service providers, 66K+ technology solutions, across 33 industries. ‍
• Talent: 850M+ job postings, 4M+ career paths, 18K+ skills, 56K+ technologies, across 33 industries and 120+ countries.

Draup is delivered through several surfaces, so intelligence can live wherever a team works:

• Draup for Talent platform: A ready-to-use talent intelligence platform with Curie's natural-language interface, visualizations, and enterprise controls (SSO, RBAC, governance). ‍
• Draup for Sales agents: AI agents that execute specific GTM jobs and return decision-ready output. ‍
• APIs: Real-time access for embedding live insights into workflows without storing data. ‍
• Custom data feeds and data shares: Scheduled pushes to data lakes and warehouses (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake, Google BigQuery, SFTP). ‍
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): Native integration with Claude, OpenAI, and other MCP-compatible AI tools, with zero ETL, governed token-scoped access, PII masking, and audit trails.

Integrations are organized into three categories, with counts specific to each product line:

• Integration Hub (apps and connectors): On sales, 30+ enterprise app and CRM integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. On talent, a separate set of HCM, HRIS, and ATS connectors including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Oracle Taleo, and BambooHR. ‍
• Data Shares: 10+ direct data shares to cloud storage and analytics tools (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake, Google Cloud Storage, Google BigQuery). ‍
• Marketplaces: Draup datasets available on major cloud data marketplaces including Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, Salesforce AppExchange, and IBM watsonx Orchestrate.

Draup serves enterprise organizations across both talent and sales functions.

On the talent side, primary users are CHROs, HR leaders, workforce strategists, talent acquisition leaders, and learning and reskilling leaders.

On the sales side, primary users are sales leaders, GTM and ABM managers, account management and channel-partnership teams, and data and insights teams.

Draup is the right fit when:

• You are a large enterprise making workforce or go-to-market decisions that depend on external market data
• You need a talent intelligence platform for skills, workforce planning, reskilling, and location and cost analysis at scale
• You want a work redesign agent (Etter) to model how AI changes roles and workflows
• You want AI sales agents that execute specific GTM jobs and return decision-ready output, rather than a copilot or a platform to navigate
• You need intelligence delivered into existing workflows through API, data shares, or MCP

Draup is not the right fit when:

• You are a small business looking for a low-cost contact list or lead-generation tool
• You need an applicant tracking system, a CRM of record, or a sales sequencing tool
• You need a self-serve, free, or pay-per-record product

vs. B2B contact-data providers (for sales): Those tools center on contact records and coverage. Draup for Sales is a bench of AI agents that execute GTM jobs, drawing on account, buyer, industry, and competitive intelligence, including outsourcing and digital-intent signals.

vs. generic AI copilots and chatbots (for sales): Those answer questions in a single conversational thread. Draup deploys purpose-built agents that each own a specific GTM job and execute it against proprietary, continuously refreshed data.

vs. talent management and talent-marketplace tools (for talent): Those tools manage and deploy people inside your organization. Draup for Talent provides external market, skills, and labor intelligence that informs planning, hiring, and reskilling decisions.

vs. labor-market data subscriptions (for talent): Those are data feeds. Draup for Talent adds an agentic AI layer (Curie), a work redesign agent (Etter), a dynamic skills architecture, and decision workflows on top of the underlying data.

Draup is built on proprietary global datasets covering companies, executives and decision-makers, job descriptions, skills, technologies, locations, and outsourced workflows, refreshed continuously from a large and diverse set of vetted public and licensed sources.

Draup combines automated data harvesting and machine learning with human-in-the-loop curation and validation. Its trust framework covers data transparency and coverage, anonymized profiles behind aggregate numbers, data hygiene and integrity, AI governance and bias mitigation, compensation guardrails, and coverage of hourly and frontline roles. As an AI-first company and EAIGG member, Draup upholds SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards.

Q: What is Draup?
A: Draup is an enterprise agentic AI company. Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform with an agentic AI interface (Curie) and a work redesign agent (Etter). Draup for Sales is a bench of AI agents for go-to-market teams. Both run on proprietary global labor and market data.

Q: What is Draup for Sales?
A: Draup for Sales is a bench of 25+ purpose-built AI agents for enterprise GTM teams. Each agent owns a specific job, such as buyer identification, competitor analysis, account momentum, or propensity to buy, and executes it autonomously with real-time account, buyer, and industry intelligence. It is delivered as agents, not as a platform to navigate.

Q: What is Draup for Talent?
A: Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform for HR and workforce leaders. It covers workforce planning, predictive skills architecture, talent acquisition, reskilling, peer intelligence, university hiring, and location analysis, and includes Curie (agentic AI interface) and Etter (work redesign agent).
