About Kustomer

Kustomer is the industry-leading conversational CRM platform, dedicated to perfecting every customer experience. Our platform is equipped with intelligent tools such as AI and Automation, no-code configuration, and a connected data platform that unifies data from multiple sources through a single timeline. Kustomer empowers businesses to operate with greater efficiency and deliver more personalized service to customers across any channel, making every interaction more meaningful and memorable.

Kustomer is the core platform for leading brands like Abercrombie, Nuts.com, Skims, Turo, Priceline, and Sweetgreen. Founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Brad Birnbaum and Jeremy Suriel, Kustomer has raised over $200M in funding backed by leading VCs. Meta announced its intention to acquire Kustomer in 2020 and completed the transaction in 2022, integrating Kustomer into Meta’s Business Messaging Group to transform business-customer communication through modern messaging channels. In 2023, Kustomer spun out from Meta as a standalone company, securing $60M in capital from original partners Battery, Redpoint, and Boldstart Ventures to ensure continued growth and success.

Our "Krew" consists of passionate and collaborative individuals who are dedicated to enhancing the customer service experience. We are a growing company with a strong presence in NYC and a remote-friendly approach, with Krew members located throughout the US and United Kingdom. We foster strong relationships, collaboration, and communication through team events like KKO and Kamp Kustomer.
