Who we are
Sortlist is the leading B2B platform helping companies and agencies grow together. We combine SaaS products and a marketplace model to help service providers generate demand, increase visibility, and build long-term, scalable growth. Our ambition is clear: move from transactional relationships to long-term value partnerships, powered by data, AI, and strong account ownership.
