Open Source CRM
We built Twenty to be a modern, open source alternative to Salesforce. It's a CRM designed specifically for sales teams in B2B companies who want control over their data and the ability to customize without vendor lock-in.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
San Francisco is where we all currently live and has the best access to engineers and B2B companies interested in CRM replacement options. Staying here lets us move fastest and connect to customers directly.
