Recently, one of our customers was facing a challenge related to third-party data.

They shared an anecdote with us and asked if we could “just Crux it” to solve their problem. 

Having customers take your name from a noun to a verb is incredibly flattering, and we want to know--how do you Crux it?

In this issue, you’ll not only find updates on Crux, but also the latest on other trending topics in the world of external data to keep you up-to-date.

- Will Freiberg, CEO at Crux
