Emphanos

Emphanos builds powerful web-based solutions for non-profits, educational institutions, research centers, and businesses. The job it does: keeping every contact, deal and follow-up in one place so nothing slips.

It makes the most sense for sales teams and founders who are tired of spreadsheets. They also list CRM, Education, Non Profit, Open Source and Training, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Emphanos is based in Chicago, Illinois. You can read more at emphanos.com.

Before you commit, look at pipeline stages, email sync, mobile app, and what reporting costs extra. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Emphanos, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
