SAM.AI, a Social CRM Platform, Announces the Acquisition of IntroNet in Conjunction with a Seed Round Investment Led by UpVentures Capital. IntroNCRet Provides an AI Platform to Foster Social Networking Amongst Executives

The combination of IntroNet and UpVentures investment and expertise will help propel SAM to expand its social CRM capabilities – creating a new and differentiated approach to how businesses acquire, track and maintain sales and customer data through a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

UpVentures partners Martin Babinec and Mike Krupit formed IntroNet in 2014, building intellectual property aimed at connecting people across broadly distributed networks, including filling gaps left open by social network platforms that do not distinguish strength of relationship between individual network participants.

“SAM is in the UpVentures sweet spot of Business to Business Software as a Service (B2B SaaS). We see SAM’s advanced approach to social CRM applying across a number of vertical markets where a single platform solution addresses a wide range of needs and can be more easily deployed than existing alternatives” said Martin Babinec, UpVentures Managing Partner.
