Monocl is machine-driven, analyzing large datasets - publications, clinical trials, conference activity, social media, and more - to identify and surface relevant experts, rather than relying primarily on manual recruitment.

Prior to its acquisition, Monocl raised approximately $4.5 million across three funding rounds: 8m SEK in December 2015, 5m SEK in January 2017, and €3m in July 2019.

In October 2020, Definitive Healthcare acquired Monocl for total consideration of up to $60 million (approximately $46.3 million at closing, with the remainder contingent on performance targets). Since the acquisition, Monocl has been rebranded and expanded into the Monocl Expert Suite, now covering more than 15 million experts globally across all therapeutic areas. The suite includes several products: Monocl ExpertInsight (the core expert-search and profiling tool), Monocl Conferences (conference session tracking), Monocl ExpertGO (a mobile app for field teams), Monocl ExpertData (integration into internal CRM and IT systems), and Monocl ExpertClaims (medical claims data integration).
