Waltham, MA (PRWEB) May 23, 2008

The result is a unique resource of executive contacts that reaches far deeper than alternatives.

"Our business has been growing at a brisk pace and as a result we were able to complete our funding round in less than 2 months. This continued vote of confidence from our investors is truly gratifying," says Gary Halliwell, CEO and founder of NetProspex. "Our work in raising the bar on data quality for sales contacts and the success of our contact trading platform has laid the groundwork for continued growth of the company."

NetProspex angel investors include business media publishing veterans Rikki Tahta, Simon Murdoch, Roland Beaulieu and Gary Mueller.
