Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at SureSwift

April 29, 2021

If you come to work at SureSwift, you’ll hear me say frequently that we’re building the company we want to work for. When I started the company in 2015, that was an “I” statement, and I love that it’s shifted to “we,” because we are all responsible for building culture, and I want the people who work here to be able to help shape it.

When we acquired the Cross Sell Shopify app, the product hit all of our typical buying criteria. It’s a well-built SaaS product that customers love with a history of growth and more potential. Our acquisition story for Cross Sell, however, was a bit different than our usual “founded by bootstrapper, bought by SureSwift.” While Cross Sell was initially founded by a bootstrapper, the product had already been through an acquisition back in 2017.

The Launch Is Just the Beginning: An Interview with SaaS Business Builder, Moritz Dausinger

May 1, 2020

Moritz was one of SureSwift’s earliest founders. In 2016 he sold us Mailparser, which automatically extracts data from emails to automate repetitive business and admin tasks. Then in 2018 he sold us its sister startup, Docparser, which extracts data from PDFs. And those two acquisitions weren’t even his first. He’d previously co-founded and sold a SaaS ticketing startup to a Paris competitor.
