About Us

Our Story

Help.com was founded as the result of the scaling challenges that two quickly growing companies faced with their customer service software. The options were to spend hundreds of thousands (or millions) of dollars on expensive software designed for large enterprises (which seemed outdated and difficult to use) or cobble by with solutions designed for much smaller companies. Help.com's goal is to bridge that gap and offer companies a customer service solution that they can scale happily and affordably.

Our Progress

Our team is hard at work building the next generation of customer service software. We are actively talking to select companies about what they like and dislike about their current customer service software solutions and what they’d like to see from future software. Our focus is on building software that helps teams better serve their customers and do so more efficiently. If you’d like to tell us about your company’s needs, please get in touch.

Our current focus is on building our team and our product. In the mean time, we'd love to talk to any companies that have gone through the struggles that we have and learn about what you're looking for from your customer service software. We're also happy to keep you informed of our progress.
