Officially launching today at the Demofall Conference in San Diego is Cortera, a company based in Quincy and Boca Raton, Florida.
Cortera aims to be a kind of “wisdom of the crowds”-driven business credit agency. CEO Jim Swift likes to describe it as “Yelp for business credit.” And in the same way that the user-powered review site Yelp has taken on established players like Zagat, Cortera has Dun & Bradstreet in its sights.
"We've relied on Cortera for over a decade and they never stop innovating. In my mind they represent the industry's new thought leader."
"Cortera has given us increased access to better information and has helped ensure that credit decisions are issued quickly and consistently."
