Ryver

Series A in 2013
The way we work has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Email hasn’t. Today, the average worker spends over 25% of their workweek in a bloated inbox trying to force email to do things it was never meant to do: task management, contact management and group collaboration. Ryver collaborative email is the only email built for the way we work today, bringing group collaboration, contact management and task management right into your inbox. The result is less email, fewer meetings and more collaboration. From Pat Sullivan, co-creator of ACT!, and founder of SalesLogix.
