Base CRM (originally Future Simple or PipeJump) is an enterprise software company based in Mountain View, California with R&D offices located in Kraków, Poland. It produces the web application Base, also known as Base CRM which is a customer relationship management (CRM) system that is available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Base was the first full native CRM Android app available.[1]

Reception

Base has been recognized by many publications- including Forbes, Crain's Chicago Business, ReadWrite, and The Next Web-for its intuitiveness, mobility and clean design.[2][3][4][5] In July 2012, Box (service) CEO, Aaron Levie was asked at VentureBeat's MobileBeat summit about designing enterprise applications for mobile. He said, "Mobile must be first when you're building an enterprise company" and identified Base as an example.[6] In February, 2013 Base was recognized by Forbes as one of 10 Mobile Apps to Organize Your Business.[7]

History

The company's flagship CRM product was launched November, 2009 under the name Pipejump. In November 2011, the product was rebranded with the name Base, as it is known today. Base CRM was co-founded in 2009 by Uzi Shmilovici, Bart Kiszala, Pawel Niznik, Ela Madej and Agata Mazur after they became frustrated by their own experience with other CRM products on the market.

Base has received a total venture capital funding of US$22.7 million from several investors including RRE Ventures, Index Ventures, The Social+Capital Partnership, OCA Ventures, and I2A.[8][9][10] In September 2015, Base raised an additional $30 million in Series C funding led by Tenaya Capital, with participation from Index Ventures.[11]
