About Merciv
Merciv is an AI-native brand and retail intelligence platform that unifies internal research, syndicated data, social signals, and other consumer data sources into a single source of truth for its clients.

Merciv is now building out its go-to-market team and launching a product-led growth motion, including a free consumer product called Pulse that will be monetized through credit usage. The company is positioned to democratize access to retail and brand intelligence while scaling its enterprise customer base.
