In early 2018 we then announced the acquisition of Contacts+. Over the next couple of years, we refreshed the Mac app, added a Chrome Extension, an Android app, sync integrations to a number of other services, added a Teams offering, as well as some workflow integrations including Refresh, Dossier, and a Google Sheets integration to name a few. And we used those shared experiences to bond the two organizations as one. Again, times were challenging, but via acquisition, we had gained a team that had years of experience cutting their teeth on contact management, like us. When they joined we re-wrote our API and web app from the ground up, not to mention while merging in the iOS and Mac apps. Luckily, they too had a culture based on Grit – because their resolve was tested early. They had an amazing iOS and Mac app and we quickly went to work marrying the two products. In January of 2014, we announced the purchase of Cobook. For those users that endured those times, I can only say Thank You! One of the core values at FullContact is We’ve Got Grit, and there was a lot of Grit that was demonstrated over the next couple of years building an app that was deserving of our users’ trust. Two-way sync of contacts across platforms is hard enough, and then sprinkle in some poor technology choices and you have the makings of a system that wasn’t stable, performant, or trustworthy. It was a rocky road, and a rough time – I’m not going to lie. We started out by building an API and then shortly after a web app. We wanted to do for contacts what Dropbox had done for files: all of your contacts deduped, cleaned, and enriched - no matter what devices or platforms you use. Your user account and subscriptions are not changing, you will use the same login credentials to access the apps.įirst, a quick walk down memory lane, because there is a theme that will emerge.įullContact started tackling the personal contact management problem in 2012.
