More About Us

We’re solving the world’s contact information problem.  As we like to say: If you’ve got an address book, you’ve got an address book problem.  Most people have duplicate contacts, partial records, out of date records and they’re scattered everywhere.  It’s a mess.  Businesses have the same problem, but it’s actually worse when you consider that a company has a bunch of employees, CRMs, Marketing Automation systems, Billing platforms, Help Desk applications.

As Dropbox did for files and Evernote did for notes -- Full Contact is doing the same for contacts. And we're providing it to Individuals, Businesses, and Developers.

We were a TechStars Boulder  2011 company.  We’re lean, mean and funded by Foundry Group, Tango Group and angel investors like David Cohen, Dave McClure, Howard Lindzon and Eric Norlin.  

Oh, and we wear shorts and flip flops most days to work! Be Awesome!
