Our story
folk is a collaborative SaaS tool to centralize, organize and activate contacts.
Created within eFounders in 2020, we're an ambitious team about to launch the first version of our product. We've raised $3.3M (Seed round) with Accel and operators angels from forward-thinking companies (Notion, Intercom, Figma, Dropbox, Stripe, Google, etc.)
We're pioneering a new product category named xRM that combines the flexibility of Notion & Airtable with the intelligence of Salesforce.
Our mission is to offer teams a way to leverage their biggest asset — their contacts — with a productivity tool enjoyable to use, customizable on-the-go, and powered with data. Our ambition is to become the reference both for individuals looking for a personal CRM and for large teams whose job revolves around managing contacts (HRs, Salespeople, PR people, Investors, NGOs, etc).
Current CRMs are too rigid, hardly customizable, and not enjoyable to use. And they are specifically built for salespeople, leaving out other teams that manage contacts. This is why we're building folk as a highly customizable software to make it easy for any team to leverage contacts according to their own workflows. It's not a better CRM, it's a new type of software we call xRM. In xRM, the "x" stands for anyone: you can use it not only for managing clients but also for journalists, suppliers, partners, for example. Thibaud Elziere, CEO @ folk

Life at folk
We're remote first
Even though we have offices in the center of Paris allowing us to work together from time to time, we also enjoy working from home. To be able to connect while working remotely we've set-up some very cool rituals:
- ☕ via visio, either with one teammate or the entire team.
- 🔥 demo time every Friday morning, during which teammates are showcasing achievements of the week.
- 🚀 folk-on every Monday to start the week all together and discuss our primary focus.
- 🌴 folk-off every quarter, to gather the entire team in an amazing and peaceful place. It's a great occasion to meet altogether.
- 🎮 and much more spontaneous moments together to chill and relax (lunch, climbing session, hikes etc.)
