Company research, done for you
Who is behind any website?
Look up a website to see who founded it, when, where it is based, how big it is, whether it raised money, the names it used before and how it changed. Every fact links to its source.

Questions
Where does Behind the Site get its information?
From public sources: domain registration records, the company's own website, public filings, app store listings and published news. Each fact on a dossier links to where it came from.
How accurate is it?
Each fact carries a confidence label. High means the company itself or two independent sources say so; low means it rests on one weak source. When something could not be confirmed, the dossier says so instead of guessing.
A site I searched for is not here. What now?
Leave your email on the page that tells you it is missing and you will get one message when its dossier is published. Searches for missing sites decide what gets researched next.
Something on a dossier is wrong, or I want it removed.
Use the contact page and pick correction or removal. Dossiers cover organizations; personal details beyond a person's professional role are never included.
Does it cost anything?
No. There is no account and no paywall.
