About Rocksalt

We started Rocksalt so real expertise gets found.

Buyers now ask AI before they ask you. We make sure the answers they get come from the people who actually know: your team.

  • Founded by second-time founders
  • Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners
  • Based in Redwood City, California

Why we built Rocksalt

AI search optimization has three problems.

We hear them from almost every B2B marketing team we talk to.

01

You don't know what your buyers are asking.

And the prompts you're tracking today feel simplistic next to the real questions buyers bring to AI.

02

Your content sounds like generic AI.

Meanwhile, your company is full of deep insight and a real point of view. It just isn't making it onto the page.

03

Everything keeps changing.

Models, citations and buyer needs shift constantly — and nothing connects the dots for you.

What Rocksalt does

Rocksalt solves all three.

One answer for each problem — working together, all the time.

  1. 01

    Real buyer questions

    We find them where your buyers are actually asking: your sales calls, Slack channels, Reddit and LinkedIn.

  2. 02

    Your experts, one email away

    We loop in your experts with a simple email. Their input is what makes your content original — and makes it stand out.

  3. 03

    Always on

    Our platform monitors what's changing, continuously, and tells you what to do next.

Why it matters

Real questions, real expertise, always on. It's the only way to stay ahead in AI search.

Who we are

Three founders who've done this before.

We previously built The Factual, which helped people find trustworthy news and was acquired by Yahoo. We started Rocksalt because we kept seeing the same thing in B2B: the people with the best answers are rarely the ones creating the content.

Why the name?

Raw crystal. Real value inside.

Rock salt isn't table salt. It's raw and unrefined — unassuming on the outside, valuable within. So is the expertise inside most companies. Our job is to bring it to the surface.
