Ilya Semin, MBA’10

Ilya Semin (left) has founded Datanyze, a Silicon Valley-based startup that helps customers identify and analyze prospects. He is shown with Jon Hearty, the company’s vice president for growth. Ilya emails, “Datanyze knows more about your favorite websites than you do. That’s because our company crawls 30 million websites every day to see who’s using what technologies. Salespeople can leverage that information to close more deals. Mark Cuban and Google Ventures were early investors. My goal is to turn Datanyze into the Google of sales and marketing, and I credit my time at Babson as helping spark that ambition.”
