Let’s get to know each other! Here is our story.

ROMAIN&DAVID (1) (1) (1) — David Chevalier & Romain Ginestou, Co-Founders of Surfe

We are the next generation productivity software helping sales and revenue teams navigate their daily work with ebb and flow.

Back in 2020, Surfe (Leadjet at the time) began as a side-project our co-founders started during their exchange program at UC Berkeley.They used LinkedIn as a prospecting tool and found creating and enriching contacts in the CRM extremely daunting. After this realization, they put their heads and expertise together to create a simple solution – a tool that automates repetitive tasks and bridges LinkedIn to the CRM.

After nearly two years of helping reps connect CRMs with LinkedIn, we decided to apply our unique recipe to other sales tools, platforms and websites to support revenue teams throughout the entire sales cycle!

As your sales journey begins on LinkedIn, we help you prospect more efficiently, get the correct contact information with enrichment and alleviate the monotonous copy-pasting of contacts to your CRM. When your conversations start, we aid with message templates and always back your interaction to the CRM, so you can focus on building relationships and qualifying leads. But what happens when the sales journey steps outside LInkedIn?

We wanted to support you, as you move on to virtual calls (Google Meet or Zoom). We get it that your sales call notes get scattered – sometimes you take them on paper, sometimes on your computer, but it all boils down to taking extra time to log them in the CRM. We wanted to make notes accessible and syncronizable with your database. As you negotiate deals, we dreamed of giving you quick overview and easy management of your pipeline, outside the CRM interface; and when you need to follow up in time – we envisioned giving you the option to set tasks and reminders to stay on top of deadlines. What is more, if you’re sourcing investors on Crunchbase, we wanted to help you add contacts or take notes to the CRM directly from the web. Our ultimate vision was to fill up all of the value gaps on other platforms throughout the entire sales journey, after LinkedIn.

Surfe was created to break the CRMs silo, make them accessible everywhere people sell and finally bring peace of mind to sales and revenue teams.

Our first physical office space was the HEC Incubator in STATION F, the largest startup campus in Europe. We’re proud that we were able to bootstrap our way to over 1,500 paying companies and create a team of 20+ people with no funding. In spring 2022 we moved to our very own Haussmannian office in the heart of Paris – close to Palais Garnier.

‍In summer 2022 we started our rebranding process and worked together with FocusLab to create our shredding new brand identity. We’re thankful to MILL3 who helped us come out with a sick website (release in January ’23) to support our cool new brand!

We share a love for simple products, that can be used by everyone to save time where it’s needed and to concentrate on ‘what really matters’. Business in mind, technology at hand, and a heartfelt passion for prospecting is our recipe for providing a state-of-the-art sales intelligence & productivity tool.

We believe that simple things are beautiful, that’s why made Surfe uncomplicated and crystal clear. We tried to build straightforward features to ensure your navigation & activity are as painless and effortless as possible.

At Surfe, one of our top priorities is your efficiency and productivity that pave the way to increased performance. We’re here to give you the means to catch waves, ride them and execute the most difficult turns and tricks.

We created Surfe with the intention to give you peace of mind while selling. We want to empower you to go after prospects, get and close deal without having to waste time or worry about the little things (like refreshing your CRM, scheduling tasks and manually logging data). We made Surfe as customizable as we could, to ensure you’re at liberty to craft your own workspace that helps you be more productive – completely unconfined.

At Surfe, we’re your biggest fans and supporters. Always by your side, we want to share our passion and energy to help you push the boundaries every day. We’re never afraid of the challenges and like to embrace difficulties, making bold moves! We hope we make you feel encouraged and supported to do so too!

The team is currently composed of 30+ people from various backgrounds. Here are the flags of all the nationalities represented  in the team!
