The Hog: AI Demand Gen for Companies

AI Demand Gen for Companies

TheHog.ai is the first predictive intelligence engine for growth. We don't just find leads; we predict your next customer before they enter the market. TheHog.ai maps your ICP, channels, and opportunities across the internet, monitors competitors, communities, keywords, and turns signals into ranked actionable game plans. The future of sales isn't a static dashboard; it is a living, autonomous command center. TheHog.ai gives a single operator the power of an entire sales and marketing teams by compressing weeks of research into minutes of execution. The Hog Mind & Global Graph At our core is "The Hog Mind": a proprietary Contributory Global Graph that fuses real-time social listening with advanced identity resolution. Unlike traditional enrichment tools that rely on stale databases, The Hog monitors millions of live conversations across the internet to identify high-frequency intent signals. This creates a self-reinforcing data flywheel that ranks opportunities and triggers autonomous engagement workflows instantly. What We Do: Predictive Buying Intelligence: We map the "Global Graph" of customer nodes to surface opportunities before competitors know they exist. Autonomous Engagement: An army of AI agents that don't just draft, but identify, verify, and engage with customers across LinkedIn, Reddit, and X. Deep Data Enrichment: We bridge the gap between anonymous social signals and verified contact data, creating a holistic view of your market. The Data Flywheel: A bottom-up network where every user interaction cleans and verifies our dataset, creating a defensive moat that gets smarter with every query. The Result: Win your customers before it’s even a competition

Company Launches

The Hog: AI Native Go-To-Market Command Center

See original launch post

“Ah, this is f******* good, dude. You really have done something here. I’m serious. Like look at the level of insight of this.” - David (from current customer; actual response will differ between users)

TL;DR

It’s like the Google Maps for customer acquisition: The Hog finds the most optimized ways to reach your customers.

It gives one person the power of an entire sales and marketing team. It compresses research to execution from hours to minutes.

Our Vision

We believe the future of go-to-market is not dashboards. It is a command center where sales, marketing, and growth work together on the same platform with the same data.

Shared context creates faster decisions, cleaner execution, and fewer handoffs. This is how teams stay ahead and keep adaptive go-to-market playbooks dynamic, updating in real time as the market moves.

Why the ‘The Hog’?

The Hog stands for Head of Growth (Hog), literally. It’s the dream tool our team wished we had when we scaled a startup from ~$900k ARR to $7M+ in 3 months as a solo growth hire, and helped pivot a company to profitability with only two months of runway left.

Anyone who needs a fractional Head of Growth or CMO co-pilot
Teams looking to consolidate their marketing and sales tech stack
Solo founders and lean teams that need to find PMF and traction faster
Startups that want to meet customers where they actually are and engage with their communities
