There is a growing amount of interest around SalesTrak, a UK startup with a cost effective, yet powerful CRM solution that rivals SalesForce in every way.
The firm, based in Leeds (with offices overseas) have gathered enough momentum to gain a second round of funding from Aspiration Capital.
It pleases us no end to see UK startup's receiving genuine and solid interest from VC firms. The UK has always lagged behind the US on tech startup funding but it's stories like these that give us hope of a brighter future for innovative, creative and talents here in the UK.
I'm sure you will join us in wishing SalesTrak the very best for the future.
