DatabaseUSA,[1] formally Database101[2][3] is a full-service database company. The company provides sales leads, mailing lists, email lists, and telemarketing lists to businesses for marketing and lead generation.
History
The company was founded in 2010 by Vinod Gupta, who was also the founder of Salesgenie®, InfoUSA®, and Infogroup®. It is a privately held company based in Omaha, Nebraska.
The roots of DatabaseUSA.com® go all the way back to 1972, when Vin Gupta realized the importance and need for accurate business information in the sales and marketing world. Since he could not find any quality data sources for small business needs, Vin Gupta started InfoUSA® (first named Business Research Services, then changed to American Business Lists and then American Business Information) with $100 that he borrowed from a friend. He gained access to all of the yellow pages and began compiling his first list for mobile home dealers. For the next 13 years, Vin Gupta and his associates compiled and categorized the entirety of the United States Yellow Pages directories, with substantial demand from small-business customers. Upon its IPO in 1993, American Business Lists underwent many changes in the ensuing years, becoming InfoUSA and, later, Infogroup®.
In August 2008, Vin retired from his post as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at Infogroup®, leaving a legacy of hands-on leadership and measurable performance with his company. Infogroup® was sold to CCMP for $650 million in July 2010.
