KnowFirst

What KnowFirst is

KnowFirst sits in the lead generation APIs corner of the B2B go-to-market stack. In the vendor's own words: “Australia's largest B2B business database.” Put plainly, a tool in this category serves leads and contact data over an API instead of a UI.

KnowFirst appears in 2 categories here — Lead Generation APIs, B2B Integration Software — which usually means it covers more than one job rather than doing a single thing narrowly.

Where it sits in an outbound stack

Most outbound stacks are four layers: the data that decides who you talk to, the channel that carries the message, the writing that earns a reply, and the system of record that remembers what happened. KnowFirst sits in the lead generation APIs layer. Tools beside it are worth comparing on coverage and price; tools in the other layers are worth wiring to it rather than replacing it with.

Using KnowFirst with M for Mercury

KnowFirst covers a slice of go-to-market that sits next to outbound rather than inside it. Mercury handles the LinkedIn half: audience, journey, message, pacing across senders, and one inbox for every reply. Where the two meet is usually the hand-off — Mercury pushes contacts and events out over webhooks, Zapier, Make, n8n or its own API, so a warm reply can trigger whatever KnowFirst is set up to do next.
