What the company did
Tarci was an AI startup founded in 2019 by Leetal Gruper and Sergey Bahchissaraitsev, originally called Leadgence. Its continuous intelligence engine used natural language processing to aggregate publicly available data on small and medium businesses, generating real-time signals — ownership changes, negative reviews, growth — for enterprise sales, marketing and risk teams, including use cases in insurance underwriting and GenAI model training.
