# Copper CRM

> Copper is a CRM built for Google Workspace users - specifically teams of 5 to 100 people who live in Gmail and Google Calendar all day. Founded in 2013 as ProsperWorks and rebranded in 2018, Copper is the only CRM officially recommended by Google on the Workspace Marketplace. Rather than forcing sales reps to log every interaction manually, Copper pulls contact and activity data straight from Gmail, auto-populating records so nothing falls through the cracks. Used by over 30,000 businesses across 100+ countries - from creative agencies to consulting firms to real estate teams - Copper has raised $99.5 million and evolved from a sales tool into a full client management platform for professional services.
