History
In 2011, Talkdesk co-founders Cristina Fonseca and Tiago Paiva noticed the paradigm regarding call center software was not only sloppy but outdated. Fonseca and Paiva entered a contest hosted by Twilio and built the first version of Talkdesk using Twilio's API in 10 days. They were selected to present at Twilio's conference and after winning were invited to join 500 Startup's third batch.
Cristina Fonseca and Tiago Paiva founded the company in 2011 and raised $450,000. Talkdesk demonstrated at TechCrunch Disrupt in New York in May, 2012. In August 2014, the company raised $3.15 million led by Storm Ventures.
In 2015, Talkdesk raised $21 million DFJ, Salesforce Ventures and Storm Ventures. That year, it was mentioned in some slides and articles.
On October 27, 2015, Talkdesk announced a program to provide technology startups with free licenses.
