DevRev launches their DevCRM beta, a platform for Product-Led companies

PALO ALTO, CA--July 14, 2021--[DevRev](https://devrev.ai), a new business software company focused on bringing developers closer to customers and revenue, emerged from stealth mode today, to work with early adopters in making the product generally available in 2022. The startup launches with $50 million in seed funding and a highly experienced leadership team headed by Dheeraj Pandey, Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) co-founder and former CEO and current board member at Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE). 

Pandey is DevRev's co-founder and CEO, alongside co-founder Manoj Agarwal, former Nutanix SVP of engineering. Backed by investors including Mayfield Fund, Khosla Ventures, and several industry luminaries, DevRev has already recruited more than 75 people and is relentlessly focused on making itself "customer zero" this year. 

“Today, every company is a software company, yet we isolate developers (dev) from customers and revenue (rev)," said DevRev CEO Pandey. "By removing the bureaucracy between makers and consumers — with APIs, design, and an opinionated engagement model — we will empower devs to create customer-conscious products and businesses. That’s our mission: bring dev and rev together!”

DevRev aims to make life meaningfully simpler for developers so they no longer have to work across silos of systems. Driven by design-first, API-first, and machine intelligence culture, DevRev will enable developers and customers to communicate and collaborate with each other socially and in real-time.

“Being product builders ourselves, Dheeraj and I have both felt the pain in leaving developers in the back-office," said DevRev Co-founder Agarwal. "With a headless dev-centric CRM vision, we are looking to bring developers to the forefront of decision-making and real-time customer collaboration.”

Using the platform DevRev is creating, the developer will be able to connect their code to production issues and customer interactions in a singular unified experience. The company’s offering will help developers create modern product-led growth (PLG) companies that are cloud-centric and service-oriented.

“As People-first investors who partner with entrepreneurs at the inception stage, we are honored to support Dheeraj, Manoj and the team at DevRev with seed funding,” noted Mayfield Fund Managing Director Navin Chaddha. “We believe their focus on elevating developers to business leaders by removing the barriers to revenue leverages the Rise of the Individual movement, and will help them grow into an iconic company. We look forward to watching them build an innovative new category and a long-lasting developer community.”

"Often the code, which developers end up writing or modifying, has little to no input on how customers use their product and its features," said Khosla Ventures Founder and Partner Vinod Khosla. "DevRev's bold, yet simple vision to bring developers closer to customers is one of those groundbreaking ideas we feel will impact every single company in the future."

A true post-pandemic company, DevRev is remote-first and maintains purely digital operations, using social platforms to recruit talent, generate ideas, and build a community around its product. With automation, search, and a unique product-led candidate experience, the company has built a stellar team of DevRevelers in less than six months. The company is building its team in Austin, Bangalore, Ljubljana (Slovenia), and the San Francisco Bay area.

During the event, attendees will hear from co-founders, Dheeraj Pandey and Manoj Agarwal, and have access to sessions with Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, and Abhay Parasnis, Adobe CTO. 

Additionally, DevRev will tell its own story of evolution on why the company has become its own Customer Zero during this extremely critical discovery phase of product-market fit, and how DevRev will:
- Use their platform to build software, making remote engineering delightful and social
- Gather real-time feedback and stay close to early adopters
- Migrate off legacy databases and workflows to manage features, issues, and tickets. DevRev will also reveal why this decade will all be about in-app experiences.  

“During these formative days, we want to take a moment to acknowledge how far we’ve come, and celebrate DevRev Day with our community of friends and well-wishers,” said Dheeraj Pandey, CEO and co-founder, DevRev. “We are aspiring to change how digital businesses are built and operated. That will require an immense learning mindset with the community.”
Pandey will share an exclusive, first-time-preview of what DevRev’s platform will look like, and share with audiences more about the vision for DevCRM, the dev-centric approach to building customer-conscious products and services. Given its Product-Led Growth (PLG) roots, the company expects to interact frequently with its community of alpha and beta users in the coming months, as it unveils a next-generation CRM suite of services to power PLG focused organizations.

A private community of developer entrepreneurs, including industry experts from VC firms and former enterprise tech employees

Scholarships for Udacity courses
A chance to influence DevRev’s company roadmap, early access to the product prior to general availability, and the ability to enter into the Hackathon. 

**Hackathon**

Developer entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to enter into a Hackathon, kicking off November 1st, where they will build out a prototype and present to potential investors. The winner’s prototype will be included as an application of DevRev’s open source ecosystem and will receive $30,000 as prize money, sponsored by Mayfield Fund. This is a testament to DevRev’s commitment to creating a product that caters to developers needs through sourcing what is most important to them and creating an open dialogue between DevRev and its customers.

“As we start to bring our .ai vision to life, we want machines to take the mundane chores off the developer’s plate,” said Manoj Agarwal, co-founder and President, DevRev. “Like Netflix a decade ago, this hackathon is about co-creating AI value with external developers, many of whom will not be our employees, but will be valuable teachers to learn from nonetheless.” 
Barely a year since inception, DevRev is approaching 100 employees and continues to grow, as it invests in its product and builds its PLG muscle around growth and support engineering.

DevRev: Former Nutanix execs look to lure in dev startups with new business Infrastructure-as-a-Service firm

>This new take on CRM allows modern software companies to bring departments together and support their customers “as one”.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022: DevRev, a company bringing developers and engineers closer to customers, today announced the public launch of DevCRM: the only API-driven, developer-first customer relationship management (CRM) platform for product-led SaaS companies.

In an era of all things product-led, DevRev’s converged “DevCRM” platform brings together customer support conversations and tickets with developer issues and product enhancements. Today’s companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to stitch together Slack channels, emails, and in-app widgets with support portals, product boards, and issue tracking software. Yet, these hand-crafted solutions often lead to subscription churn and low customer satisfaction. Tomorrow’s design focused, customer obsessed companies will use product and user centric CRMs to ensure every employee delivers customer success.
 
To realize this vision, DevRev today also announced the general availability of its Support app, an in-app widget, and APIs and webhooks for modern software companies that believe in the power of one: one support engineer, one team between support engineers and developers, and one customer success culture across all. The newly unveiled Support app unifies departments to collaborate as one social team in real-time. This is **Product-Led Support**!

“Over the last six months of using DevCRM, we’ve been able to experience the product, customer, and developer trifecta that can take a product-led company from good to great. It’s no secret that DevRev is at the forefront of product-led customer communications. We’re thankful they’ve helped us lower costs, net better economics, and most importantly, increase customer satisfaction,” said Alok Mishra, CTO, and co-founder of, GoodMeetings. “As a deep tech company, our customers are developers who prefer to communicate via Slack. Our customers love this kind of communication because it feels like 100ms is their video backend team. But managing thousands of Slack channels was becoming challenging. With DevRev, we can scale our customer communications and move beyond archaic customer support systems.”
-Kshitij Gupta, CEO, and co-founder, 100ms.

“Like Nutanix, we are looking at DevRev as another marathon in a large market with established competitors,” said [Dheeraj Pandey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpandey/), CEO, and co-founder of DevRev. “But this decade, with our [APIs](https://devrev.ai/docs/apis/getting-started) and webhooks, we will be leaning heavily on the developer community to help us build a modern company with powerful network effects.”

“We’ve been monomaniacally focused on design to converge the workflows of customer support, product management, and developers,“ added [Manoj Agarwal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/devreveler/), President, and co-founder of DevRev. “Convergence was a big mantra for us at Nutanix, and we won the hearts and minds of our users because we integrated people and their use cases.”

The DevCRM platform syncs GitHub, Jira, legacy CRMs, and Slack events in real time with DevRev’s modern issues, tickets, and conversations, elevating managers — technical account managers, project managers, product managers, and customer success managers – to drive user adoption and retention. This is the new **convergence**!

DevRev also announced that it has now raised $70M in seed capital since its inception in 2020. “While this could be the largest seed in the history of Silicon Valley, our employees in five locations around the world are stretching the dollar as far as they can – with automation, cloud observability, and using a minimal set of business software tools,” said Pandey. “DevRev-on-DevRev has kept us disciplined and tightly knit as a company.”
