Since 2013, we've been building a CRM that gets out of your way and helps teams sell more, faster. No manual data entry, just communication-first sales software designed to help SMBs succeed and scale.
We're bootstrapped and profitable - that means we answer to our customers and play by our rules. We're proud of our ~100 person, 100% remote team focused on building Close so that no small, scaling business fails because it can't figure out sales.
