About Sprout Social, Inc.

Sprout Social, Inc. (ticker: SPT) is a U.S.-based software company listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Sprout Social builds a cloud-based social media management and analytics platform designed to turn social data into actionable business intelligence rather than treating social channels as a simple publishing layer. The company also operates internationally, with offices and teams in locations including Seattle, Dublin, and Kraków, and it serves customers in more than 100 countries. ([sproutsocial.com](https://sproutsocial.com/about?utm_source=openai)) At the core of Sprout Social’s business is a SaaS platform that combines publishing and scheduling, social engagement, customer care, social listening, reporting and analytics, influencer marketing, advocacy, crisis management, and AI-powered intelligence tools. The company’s positioning is built around what it calls “Social Intelligence,” with the goal of connecting social signals to marketing execution, customer support, and broader enterprise decision-making. Sprout says it serves approximately 30,000 brands, spanning both mid-market customers and larger enterprise accounts.

Its differentiation comes from an integrated product experience, strong analytics, third-party integrations, and an increasingly AI-led roadmap. In 2025 and early 2026, management emphasized this transition with the launch of Sprout AI and its proprietary AI agent Trellis, a broader integration strategy, and the acquisition of NewsWhip to strengthen predictive media intelligence and trend detection. The company also expanded its Reddit partnership to help brands engage more directly with communities and discovery-driven conversations.

Recent company disclosures indicate a clear push toward larger accounts, including 3,803 customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR as of December 31, 2025, up from the prior year. That suggests a deliberate move upmarket, where the platform is positioned as mission-critical infrastructure for marketing, communications, customer support, and reputation management teams.
