Good-bye 2017, hello 2018! It’s said that it’s better to look forward than to look back. However, this year we have had some amazing things happen at Leadfeeder and we couldn’t help but to take a trip down memory lane. Helping our customer fuel business growth! As a SaaS tool for sales and marketing teams our goal is to help our customers meet their business growth objectives. By identifying anonymous website visitors for companies we aim to increase their lead generation, accelerate their sales pipeline, align their sales and marketing teams, and so much more. Our own growth is the best compliment to the work that we do for customers. Here is a breakdown of how many customers we added throughout the year: January 840+ customers April 1000+ customers July 1200+ customers October 1500+ customers December 1800+ customers Product Improvements Despite many BIG product improvements this year, we certainly haven’t lost focus on the foundation of what makes Leadfeeder better than the competition: quality of data, customer support and deep integrations with other sales and marketing tools. Here are a few of the big feature releases we had throughout the year. Salesforce Integration - released in March Leadfeeder Contacts feature - released in September Microsoft Dynamics Integration - released in October New App UI - released in December Team Our team has grown substantially throughout the year and we are still hiring! We are now 30+ employees in 7+ countries. Despite growth we have maintained a culture of remote work supporting team members to live and work where they feel comfortable. As a remote team we also have the advantage of coming together once or twice a year. This is Finland in June. Marketing and Events We had some rock solid marketing campaigns and attended some great events this year. Some of the campaigns we launched are building blocks to something bigger, and some facilitate growth, and allow for us to meet with peers, share insights about the product and listen to customers. Here is a snapshot of some of the events we attended, and the marketing campaigns we started: Leadfeeder Contacts #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt Leadfeeder Webinars Slush RevSummit Sales Machine Summit - Demo Jam winner!

We identified almost 3 million companies visiting our customers websites, and over 2,000 customers integrated their CRM with Leadfeeder.
