Why BirdEye?

There’s been a fundamental shift in how we buy and sell. Once, business began with an introduction and ended in a transaction. Then came subscriptions and recurring relationships. Now we live in an Experience Economy, where customers are everything.

The world of Customer Experience (CX) is exploding and BirdEye is democratizing access to it. We bring omnichannel CX to businesses from main street to the Fortune 500. We’re on a mission to empower businesses to meet, convert, and thrive with their customers.

We do it for the customers who need the best, the business innovators bringing it to them, and the global team here building it all. With BirdEye, companies can put customers at the core of every business decision, turning feedback into insights, insights into action, and customer happiness into revenue.

Founded in 2012, BirdEye is headquartered in Silicon Valley. In 2019, BirdEye was ranked #1 in Online Reputation Management and #60 in the “100 Best Software Companies” in the world by G2 Crowd. BirdEye is backed by Salesforce founder Marc Benioff, Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, Trinity Ventures and World Innovation Lab.
