Salesforce
Makes cloud programs that help companies serve and get to know their customers.
📖 Its story
In 1999, Marc Benioff and his friends started Salesforce in a small apartment in San Francisco. Back then, companies had to install complicated programs on their computers. They had a new idea: use programs right over the internet, in the cloud!
💵 How it makes money
It charges companies a subscription, like a monthly fee, to use its programs.
🤯 Fun fact
Salesforce Tower, which has its name, is the tallest building in San Francisco.
👍 The good part
It was one of the first companies to sell cloud programs by subscription, and thousands of companies use it.
⚠️ The risk
There are many competitors, and artificial intelligence is quickly changing how programs are made.
