- Pimly announced it raised $5 million. These are the details.
Pimly is one of the first-ever Product Cloud companies. And the company makes Salesforce the source of truth for critical product information allowing employees, prospects, partners, and customers to become experts on product information.
Mike Milburn left a role as Chief Customer Officer working for Marc Benioff at Salesforce and partnered with veteran Salesforce architect and entrepreneur, and founder of Etherios and Aleysian Mike Dannenfeldt to redefine Product Information Management. This platform is now live and generally available in the Salesforce AppExchange.
Based in Chicago, Pimly completed a $5 million seed round led by Mike Fitzgerald and High Alpha. Other investors in the round include Hyde Park Angels (HPA), Handshake Ventures, and Dan Dal Degan (CEO of SpringCM and former Salesforce EVP Sales).
The financing is going to enable Pimly to drive further growth in the Go-to-Market and Product Teams. And Pimly will advance its technology in the Sales, Service, Commerce and Industry Salesforce Clouds to deliver customer success.
KEY QUOTES:
“Most Product Information Management (PIM) tools on the market introduce yet another data silo into an organization that only a small number of employees access. By bringing a 360-degree view of product information into Salesforce CRM, Pimly solves the data silo problem and distributes always-on, always-accurate product information to all company stakeholders that drive results.”
— Co-Founder Mike Dannenfeldt
“At Salesforce, we disrupted the global Customer and Field Service Industries, and we are doing it again with Pimly. Salesforce is an incredible platform since Pimly is built on core, (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Lightning Commerce, Order Management, etc.) every user can get the benefits of Pimly with clicks not code.”
— Mike Milburn
