KiteDesk builds smart sales prospecting software that functions as a lead generation system combining an on-demand Chrome extension, a web app and clickable Kite icons. The product targets growth organizations that need scalable prospecting tools. The company was founded in 2011 by CTO Jared Rodriguez and VP of Products Jack Kennedy and is led by CEO Sean Burke and CMO Eric Quanstrom. KiteDesk is based in Tampa, Fla., and also maintains offices in San Francisco and San Diego. In Q4 the company completed a $6M funding round (including $2M of new capital) to support growth. The company plans to use the funds to scale operations and accelerate its product roadmap. KiteDesk offers a web app and Chrome extension that integrates email, CRM, and social media into one interface to help salespeople find, track, and close leads. Version 2.0 of the platform is launching tomorrow. The product can highlight a prospect’s name on a website and provide full contact information with one click, score leads using CRM data along with employees’ emails, calendars, and social networks, and display an integrated dashboard of emails, appointments, and tasks tied to pipeline opportunities. The company positions the product as addressing the entire sales process within a single context and interface. The CEO acknowledged overlapping features from competitors such as InsideView, Salesforce’s data.com, SalesLoft, Relationship Science, DataHug, Introhive, and Cirrus Insight.
