Where Intakra is different
- Whole-market timing, not just your traffic. Intakra reads public events across your market to find net-new accounts the moment they go in-market.

Questions
Is Intakra an Apollo replacement?
Different jobs. Apollo is database-first: its strength is contact records and a low-cost sequencer. Intakra is timing-first: it reads public buying events across your market, scores who's ready now, and produces a cited assessment page. Many teams keep Apollo for contact data and add Intakra for timing and the artifact.
Doesn't Apollo already have buying intent?
Apollo surfaces topic-intent (largely resold third-party data) and basic news. Intakra reads discrete public events — funding, hiring, exec moves, M&A, launches — and cites each one to its source, then turns the strongest into a shareable page. It's verifiable 'why now,' not a topic score.
