Brisk.io

Brisk.io, founded in 2012 by Hampus Jakobsson and Mikael Tellhed, started as a developer of software tools for sales organizations. The initial product was a mobile application designed to sync data and tasks between Salesforce and an iPhone. The company's vision evolved through several pivots. It began as Dexplora, a tool for data visualization in sales, but the founders realized the underlying CRM data was often poor quality. This led to a shift towards GetSalesDone, a task manager focused on improving CRM data entry and usage. The final iteration, Brisk.io, emerged as a sales tool that integrated data from a company's CRM, calendar, and emails to provide salespeople with actionable recommendations, such as which contacts to follow up with. This process aimed to either move a deal forward or update the CRM, enhancing overall data quality and sales efficiency.

The company raised $2 million in an early-stage venture capital round on June 4, 2013. The founders, Hampus Jakobsson and Mikael Tellhed, had previously founded The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), which was acquired by Blackberry in 2010. Their experience at TAT informed their approach to data visualization and user experience at Brisk.io. Sometime after its active years, Brisk.io was acquired by Syncari, a no-code data automation platform, although details of the acquisition are not widely publicized.
