About PipeDrive
Pipedrive roots are in direct sales. As sales managers and trainers, two of the co-founders experienced an increasing amount of pain with CRM software. There simply was no good solution for managing the company's sales pipeline. So in 2010 they teamed up with talented developers to create Pipedrive, a simple and yet powerful tool for managing sales. Today Pipedrive software is used by more than 10,000 customers around the world. We have offices in New York and Tallinn, Estonia. Pipeline raised more than $13.4 million from Bessemer Venture Partners, Paua Ventures, Rembrandt Venture Partners and others to fuel Pipedrives growth and are proud alumni of AngelPad.
