What Vector does
B2B advertising is broken: poor targeting, wasted ad spend, bot traffic, and 3rd party-cookies. Vector helps marketers drive pipeline with contact-level targeting and revealing who's seeing your ads (even if they never convert).

Advertising for the new internet
We built Vector to fix B2B advertising by targeting contacts precisely and showing marketers who sees their ads, even if those people don't convert. Our product gives marketers visibility into ad audiences at the individual contact level to reduce wasted spend and bot traffic, replacing outdated cookie-based methods.
We live in Boston, MA, and after YC the company will remain based here.
Boston has our network and the team we've built so far. We're rooted here and can scale nationally from this hub.
