Company mission
To help people achieve their goals through lasting, valuable relationships.
Our take
Folk addresses the prevalent issue of outdated and rigid customer relationship management (CRM) software. Existing solutions lack user-friendly customisation and often demand extensive support for integration, diverging from modern expectations of self-service.
Folk introduces a next-gen CRM platform, offering both flexibility and robust functionality without complex integrations. With user-friendly interfaces, users can customise their CRM to fit their needs. Integrating with services like Google Workspace, Calendly and Slack, Folk simplifies contact data management for enhanced networking efficiency.
Supported by $4.5M from Accel and 50 angels, Folk is poised for susbtantial growth. By providing an alternative to both traditional CRM giants and newer competitors, Folk seeks to capture market share and establish itself as a leader in the evolving landscape of customer relationship management.
