June 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Mountain View, CA – Y Combinator alumni, SwipeGood, has pivoted to Elastic, Inc., a company that offers startups sales communications tools and a scalable sales force on demand. Elastic’s vision is to ensure that a great startup will never again fail due to lack of sales.

SwipeGood allowed users to round up their credit or debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and donate their loose change to charity. The company was founded in 2011 and graduated from Y Combinator’s W11 Class. Since SwipeGood’s inception, the service has helped thousands of charities raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly donations.

After ongoing challenges working with the nation’s largest charities, the company sought to address a core challenge every startup faces – sales. Within a week of outreach to Silicon Valley startups Elastic had its first clients and was generating sales for them within days.  

Elastic’s goal is to solve the problem every startup faces – identifying and scaling a sales process and team. Leveraging multi-disciplinary industry experience, successes with customers including drchrono and Virool, as well as proprietary software, Elastic has dramatically increased the efficiency of a sales team.

“At first we didn’t think this would work for us because our platform is really complex,” said drchrono co-founder Daniel Kivatinos. “But Elastic has exceeded our expectations and has allowed us to run scalable sales campaigns and grow our revenue with no need for overhead on our side.”

Since its inception nine months ago, Elastic has grown from three to 15 people and is continuing to hire the best Hackers and Hustlers in Silicon Valley. The company has perfected the sales-as-a-service model by calling over 125k leads, closing over 300 deals for 10 different startups and generating millions in sales within just nine months. Elastic Hustlers have created, tested and perfected sales processes for vastly different products and services. Elastic Hackers have access to massive sales knowledge, data, and expertise and have developed something nobody else has: sales software that delivers superior user experience and dramatically boosts user efficiency regardless of product or marketplace.

“We’ve built a sales lab in the heart of Silicon Valley,” said Elastic CEO, Steli Efti. “By bringing together a team of amazing hackers and hustlers, we’re able to develop both technology and processes enabling new companies to generate more revenue. We’re focused on changing the sales game forever.”
