100 Handshakes is a specialized software solution designed to assist enterprise sales teams in navigating the complexities of securing strategic deals. By providing a comprehensive mapping of the human terrain within organizations, it enables users to identify key stakeholders, understand their roles, and strategize effectively to overcome obstacles in the sales process.

Backstory (formerly People.ai) is the Revenue Answers Platform for GTM leaders. Revenue leaders ask the same questions every day: Is this deal real? Where's my risk? What do I focus on next? Backstory gives you straight answers - grounded in 100% of actual revenue activity, not CRM guesses. With more than a decade of training AI models on billions of sales interactions, Backstory connects every signal to the right accounts and opportunities and delivers answers where you already work - whether that's your CRM, Claude, Copilot, or other AI tools you already use.
