Cuadrilla Capital-Backed InfoDesk Acquires Wide Narrow

The combined company's SaaS platform combs through both third-party and first-party data to uncover invaluable insights, provides a collaborative workspace for deep analysis (supported by AI), leverages a cutting-edge UI to rapidly build deliverables, and integrates with the third-party platforms that stakeholders use every day. The result is instant access to relevant insights for key stakeholders to support informed decision making throughout its Global 2000 customer base.
