Company history
Yesware was founded in 2010 by Matthew Bellows, Rajat Bhargava and Cashman Andrus. Since he was a salesman by trade, Bellows realized that very little sales technology actually helped salespeople make more money. The process of copying information into customer relationship management (CRM) systems was tedious and often poorly done. Knowing most of this information could be found within emails, the founders created Yesware to assist salespeople with common sales tasks, and to extract relevant information for reporting purposes.
In September 2011, Yesware released its beta version and raised a seed round of $1 million led by Google Ventures and the Foundry Group. In June 2012, Yesware followed up the seed round with a $4 million Series A round, again including investments from Google Ventures, the Foundry Group and others. In November 2012, Yesware announced a beta integration with Salesforce, which allowed users to create new contacts, develop tasks, and view actionable reports within Yesware and Salesforce simultaneously. In 2011, Yesware was awarded the top sales productivity award at the Top Sales & Marketing Awards.
Two months after launch, in November 2011, the company had 2,000 registered users. One year later, the number of users grew to 100,000. The growth was attributed to word of mouth and searches within the Google Chrome and iPhone App stores.
As of March 2016, Yesware has over 800,000 users.
