Striven

Striven is a business management software that combines CRM, accounting, project management, inventory, and HR in a single system. In practice that means keeping every contact, deal and follow-up in one place so nothing slips.

Who is it for? Mostly sales teams and founders who are tired of spreadsheets. They also list Business Development and CRM, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Striven is based in Lumberton, New Jersey. You can read more at striven.com.

Before you commit, look at pipeline stages, email sync, mobile app, and what reporting costs extra. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

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