Humble Beginnings and a New Vision
Markate was founded in 2015 as a bootstrapped startup, initially envisioned as a virtual marketplace connecting consumers with home service professionals. However, as the market became increasingly saturated with similar platforms, it became clear that a new direction was needed. In 2017, following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana, Markate found its true purpose. The company pivoted, using its platform to connect those in need with vital resources during the disaster. This pivotal moment not only redefined Markate's mission but also solidified its commitment to serving communities in times of crisis.
A Mission Rooted in Doing Good
The experience of lending a helping hand during Hurricane Harvey and later Hurricane Irma shaped Markate's mission: to empower service professionals with an efficient, cost-effective CRM tool that helps them better serve their communities. Markate's growth is driven by a deep-rooted belief that doing good for others leads to long-term success. Today, Markate remains committed to this mission, continuously innovating to provide tools that enable small businesses to thrive, grow efficiently, and serve their clients better.
Overcoming Challenges and Building Resilience
Markate's journey began as a bootstrapped startup, navigating the challenges of limited resources and the struggle to secure investors. Despite these obstacles, our unwavering focus on customer satisfaction, efficient resource management, and fostering a culture of innovation helped us rise above a crowded market. These efforts have transformed Markate into a leading CRM platform, trusted by thousands of home service professionals, and proof that resilience and dedication can turn challenges into opportunities.
