About BaseCRM
Frustrated by our own experience with CRM, we founded Base in 2009 based on a strong internal belief that businesses deserve better, smarter software. We've come a long way since then, helping thousands of businesses grow and raising $23 million from RRE Ventures, Index Ventures, The Social+Capital Partnership, OCA Ventures, I2A and several angels.
