Neuralogics, the AI‑native SaaS group, has acquired Import.io, a web data intelligence platform backed by US$38 million in capital. The deal marks the a turning point in Neuralogics’ strategy to metamorphose established SaaS tools into AI‑first systems.
Import.io, operational since 2012, processes over 500 billion data points monthly and serves enterprises including Unilever and Volvo. Its technology enables large-scale extraction and structuring of web data — a crucial input to analytics, insights, and competitive intelligence systems.
In the newly formed setup, Import.io’s infrastructure will be migrated onto Kapeta, Neuralogics’ integration backbone, and augmented with Storm, its agentic AI engine. The move is part of a broader US$1 billion AI-native SaaS playbook, in which Neuralogics aims to unify external data flows under AI control.
“Import.io built one of the strongest brands in web data intelligence,” said Jacob Laurvigen, CEO & co‑founder of Neuralogics. “By combining their proven data foundation with our AI platform, we will transform how enterprises use external data by turning information into continuous, AI‑powered intelligence.”
Christian O. Petersen, Group CTO of Neuralogics, framed Import.io as the first proof point: “Storm and Kapeta elevate a category‑defining SaaS leader into an AI‑native platform that helps customers enable better execution and measurable growth with AI.”
Editorial Perspective & Industry Lens
This acquisition is more than just a bolt-on — it signals a deeper shift in how AI companies are architecting value. While much of the AI narrative is about large language models or autonomous agents, the real lever often lies in reliable access to external data. With Import.io, Neuralogics gains not just assets and tech, but a massive data pipeline — the kind of feed that gives AI systems “eyes” over the external world.
However, execution will be key. Neuralogics must integrate Import.io without disrupting the latter’s customer base. Migrating to Kapeta + Storm is bold — but it’s conceivable customers demand both performance and continuity. Also, incumbents in the data intelligence space (from cloud providers to specialized web‑scraping firms) will be watching and reacting.
If Neuralogics can successfully convert legacy SaaS architectures into AI–native platforms at scale, it may chart a new template for mid-tier enterprise software transformation. The Import.io deal is the opening move in that bet.
