History edit
Plecto was founded by Kristian Houlberg Øllegaard and Steffen Bagge in 2012.
At the time, Kristian Houlberg Øllegaard was employed in a retention department in a local call center. Frustrated by having to manually keep track of sales and retentions, he decided to develop a software that could automate this process.[1]
Shortly after that, Kristian Øllegaard decided to leave his formal studies at the university and instead dedicate his time to Plecto.[2]
Funding edit
In 2014, investor and founder of Just-Eat, Jesper Buch, entered the company providing the first round of funding.[3] Two years later, in January 2016, the company was granted a loan from the Danish Growth Fund to implement their plans for growth.[4] Other investors include Jan Dal Lehrmann, co-founder of BilBasen, and CEO of Benjamin Media, who in 2017 invested in Plecto to further new expansion.[1]
Markets edit
As of March 2017, Plecto serves customers in 30 countries across the world.[1]
