The world relies on distributors to sell nearly every physical product, but despite its massive contribution to the global economy, this industry has been left behind in terms of technology. Proton is changing that. With AI-powered sales software, we’re breaking through the complexity of selling millions of products and making it easier for distributors to anticipate customer needs. Our mission is to bring the distribution industry into the modern age and the results speak for themselves. Distributors using Proton see 10x ROI, faster new hire ramp-up, and happier sales teams.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;In 2022, we raised a $20M Series A backed by Felicis Ventures (investors in Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor, and many others) and Battery Ventures.

Pragmatic, fast, biased to ship, comfortable with ambiguity, close to users.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;- Strong communication.

The world relies on distributors to sell nearly every physical product, but most still run on legacy systems.

Since then, our growth has continued to accelerate as we shift from a single CRM product to a multi-product platform with the launch of our PIM solution. We’re building the industry cloud for distribution and expect that growth to compound as we roll out more products.
