History

The company's founders, Kyle Porter and David Cummings, met at Georgia Tech's Advanced Technology Development Center and incorporated SalesLoft in September 2011.[3] Shortly thereafter, SalesLoft graduated from renowned startup accelerator, TechStars, in Boulder, Colorado. The company moved into its new offices in The Atlanta Tech Village in Buckhead, Atlanta. The company continued to grow quickly, surpassing the 100 employee mark in early 2016. By 2020, the company employed over 450 people.[4] The company relocated to its new office in Regions Plaza in Midtown Atlanta in August 2017.[5]

More than 2,000 customers use the company's sales engagement platform including Square, MuleSoft, Alteryx, and Dell.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional offices in San Francisco, New York, and Guadalajara, Mexico, SalesLoft has more than 400 employees and was recognized as the #1 best place to work in Atlanta.[6] The company was also named the 7th Fastest-Growing Technology Company in North America by Deloitte.[7] In April 2019, Salesloft raised a $70M venture round, led by Insight Venture Partners.[8]
