We’re on a mission to equip product-led sales teams with the data, insights, and automations they need to close bigger deals faster. Growth for today’s highest performing SaaS business is no longer sales-led, but driven by a self-serve, product-led motion. In this new world, companies have an abundance of data about their customers - including firmographic data (industry, geography, company size, title) and product usage data (who signed up, how many teammates they invited, what features are used, who the product champions are). But, this data lives in multiple different places - the data warehouse, CRM, marketing tools, and more - and the sales teams don't have the tools to access and analyze this data to inform their sales strategy. Pocus was founded to make data actionable for sales teams so they can work smarter. As the first ever platform to combine product engagement data with customer demographic data, we are giving sales reps access to insights that have never been available before. With this unique data, we enable sales teams to convert free / self-serve users to large paid customer contracts more efficiently and effectively. Through analytics and automations, Pocus identifies top opportunities / power users, alerts sales reps of product usage changes, and recommends the next best action so that sales teams can close bigger deals faster.

Today, on your smartphone you have an app store where you can find a dozen apps to have food delivered to your door, but we don’t have an app store where a large enterprise, like a bank, can find an app for income verification, or where an insurance company can find an app for processing claims. Every such application is custom built. We should wonder — why? The desktop computer is an important interface for business applications. Problem is, it wasn’t built to perform modern business operations. The problem lies in the operating system. Where Android and iOS were designed to allow applications to interact with one another, desktop computing simply wasn’t.This means that operations such as deal analysis and loan processing, which toggle between human data and computer data, can’t be performed without the assistance of a human being. It’s not only inefficient for businesses but utterly uninspiring for workers.Instabase is on a mission to fix that: to rethink the way we use apps and the way those apps work together to improve business processes and empower innovators to solve problems on a larger scale.
