The Estonian founders of Pipedrive, which started in 2010, wanted to build a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that helps users visualize their sales processes and get more done. They knew from experience that in sales, as in life, you can’t control your results but you can control your actions. So, they created Pipedrive around activity-based selling, a proven approach that’s all about scheduling, completing, and tracking activities. The company has more than 1,000 employees in its eight offices across Europe (Tallinn, Tartu, Lisbon, London, Prague, Dublin, Riga, and Berlin) and two offices in the US (New York and Florida). Its CRM is used by over 100,000 customers around the world. In 2020, Pipedrive became the fifth Estonian-founded unicorn.
