Top Software Startups in 2026

At Rattle, we want Sales and Customer Success teams to fall in love with Salesforce again. In a world where we are spending more & more time on messaging tools like Slack, we believe users should be able to access & manage Salesforce from an interface where they already live! This was the genesis behind starting Rattle and we are proud to say that our customers wholeheartedly agree. Industry leaders like Rippling, Terminus, LogDNA, Olive, Litmus, and many more use Rattle daily & call us an integral part of their tech stack. Salesforce & Slack are only the beginning though. Our mission is to bring all enterprise software to messaging platforms and enable a delightful user experience & facilitate collaboration. Started by 3 co-founders (Apoorva, Milan & Sahil) who have faced this problem themselves and left their amazing jobs in San Francisco to build Rattle. We are backed by the world’s top investors - Lightspeed & Sequoia and highly respected angels like Amy Chang, Jake Seid, Ellen Levy, Jaleh Rezaei & Chargebee founders (Krish & Raman). Now we are looking to build out our core team that will play a key role in getting Rattle in the hands of all enterprises in the world!

The biggest waste in manufacturing today is not on the shop floor. It's in the meetings, emails, and data transfer that overwhelm knowledge processes (eg quality assurance, vendor management, engineering, R&D, and sales). That's because traditional enterprise tools split collaboration and processes into disparate systems, resulting in up to 85% of time and effort being wasted. Unifize solves this problem by bringing collaboration and process into one place. By creating a conversation for every process record, Unifize measurably reduces waste in knowledge processes by up to 95%.
