Our Story
We created Yankee Group when we recognized the frustration of sifting through fragmented, outdated, and often incorrect data. We have decade-long expertise in data analytics and technology. We decided to build a people search site where accuracy and user experience are top priorities.
It began as a small passion project (similar to Google's popular “20% time”), but quickly evolved into a trusted resource for thousands of individuals. Over time, we’ve significantly expanded our data catalogue and network infrastructure, refined our crawling algorithms, and invested in new technologies to ensure a fast, secure, and user-friendly search experience.
