Born from the 2021 merger of two contact center veterans with roots going back to 1973, Alvaria builds the compliance-first outreach software that banks, insurers, healthcare providers and collections firms use to call, text and email millions of customers without breaking the rules.
Close is a bootstrapped, profitable sales CRM built for small and mid-sized teams that want to spend less time on admin and more time actually selling. Founded in 2013 out of a San Francisco sales agency, it combines pipeline management, built-in calling, email, and SMS into one platform - no integrations required. With $17M+ ARR and a fully remote team across 40+ countries, Close has grown almost entirely without venture capital, making it one of the more unusual success stories in SaaS.
