Think your company has embraced being remote or virtual?
Meet John Jahnke, CEO of Tackle.io

So, John’s team allows companies to focus on goto market & selling vs integration. Customers include Pagerduty, Github, and Snowflake.
And clearly, John’s doing something right. He’s raised major funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and Sandusky Ventures.
