## Research notes
Added 2026-08-25, closing a named warm lead from this file's previous sweep notes. CATEGORY CALL: this belongs in data-enrichment, not signals-intent-abm. The centre of gravity, the pricing, and the plan names ("Vainu for Prospecting", "Vainu for CRM", "Vainu for Data") are all about getting company records into a CRM and keeping them fresh, and the delivery methods (API, SFTP, CSV, CRM connector) are enrichment plumbing. The signal layer is real (AI-tagged trigger events; get_event_types_reference is a first-class MCP tool) but rides on the database. Critically it is NOT intent data in the Bombora or 6sense sense: no third-party bid stream, no content-consumption intent, no ABM ad layer, no de-anonymisation. RARE FOR THIS CATEGORY: published list prices. Prospecting from EUR 3,500/yr plus EUR 200 onboarding, CRM from EUR 4,200/yr plus EUR 750 onboarding, Data custom, all 12-month auto-renewing with 60-day cancellation notice. API is on all three tiers so it is not tier-gated, but there is no free developer tier and no card-swipe path to a production key; the route in is a trial-request form. Coverage is Nordic-first and weak outside it. Not acquired: an independent Finnish company since 2013, last confirmed outside capital a EUR 4M Round2 Capital growth investment in 2021. MCP tools: search_companies, get_company_context, query_organizations (VQL), document_search, get_event_types_reference, list_organization_fields. NOT VERIFIED: whether a trial token is self-generatable; developers.vainu.com/docs/getting-started returned thin or 404 content.
