Our take
Vivun provides software that allows pre-sales teams to gather customer information, and then collate the information and send it to the rest of the business. This allows the sales team, product team and executive staff to have more information about their customers.
This empowers businesses to look at what their customers' needs are now and going forward. Vivun is the first to provide such tools and despite only being launched in 2018, it is already working with brands such as SignalFx, Dell Secureworks and Harness.
Going forward, Vivun may face other competitors, as the space will likely become more crowded. However, an increasing number of businesses are realizing there is a problem with the disconnection between pre-sales and the rest of the company, so demand for Vivun's offering should also rise - providing ample opportunity for growth.
