01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Elucify (elucify.com) was a free, crowdsourced software tool for finding business email addresses. Founded by Gerald Fong, Mihir Deo, and Naveen Krishnamurthi (with sales and engineering backgrounds at Dropbox, Stripe, Twitter, and Amazon), it let users look up any company and find decision-makers' contact info; salespeople anonymously shared their own business contacts to join the community and earn credits, a Jigsaw-like model.
