# Introduction

> DataCircle is a free B2B leads database and data coop.

# Welcome to DataCircle

DataCircle is a B2B leads database with **50M+ people** and **6.8M+ companies** in the U.S., with an **11M person free tier** available for immediate download.

## The free tier

The free tier is a focused dataset that includes U.S. companies and contacts at mid-market companies (11–500 employees), excluding government, education, and nonprofits. No signup wall, no waitlist. Just download.

**Companies** (1,752,762 records):

* Name, LinkedIn URL, logo, industry (91% filled), website (79% filled)
* Employee count range, headquarters location, founding year
* Entity type, LinkedIn followers

**People** (11,139,026 records):

* Full name, LinkedIn URL, profile picture, headline
* Current job title, company, start date (62% filled)
* City, state
* Mobile phone (43% filled), email (30% filled, validated)

See the [Field Reference](/data/fields) for the complete schema and fill rates.

## Where we're going

DataCircle is building toward a **data cooperative**, a community where members pool resources to keep B2B data fresh through weekly LinkedIn refreshes.

Right now, we're giving away the free tier to grow the community. Once we reach a critical mass of members, the coop model kicks in: members contribute to the cost of data refreshes, and everyone benefits from fresher, higher-quality data than any individual could afford alone.
