Creating Human Connections with Leanplum’s Engagement Platform

Leanplum’s engagement platform delivers experiences that are timely, tested, and relevant to the customer — building loyalty that fuels business growth

Helping forward-looking brands meet the
real-time needs of their customers

For app-first companies, Leanplum is the only solution that helps personalize and optimize all customer touchpoints, both inside and outside the app. Leanplum combines multi-channel Lifecycle Marketing with the ability to A/B test the Product Experience for complete, end-to-end personalization of the mobile journey. Break down organizational silos and eliminate point solutions to enable rapid growth.

It all started in 2012. Leanplum co-founders, Momchil Kyurkchiev and Andrew First were software engineers at Google working on YouTube monetization solutions. Through their work, they had come to an important realization. Since its founding in 2012, Leanplum founders and the entire company have been focused on one goal — helping customers increase engagement with their customers. This is top of mind and evident in everything Leanplum does, every new feature and capability, every new partnership, and every new campaign breathes customer focus. We are a group of smart, hard-working, and dedicated individuals who want to positively change how brands interact with consumers. Since nearly everyone is online, you will find our best-in-class solutions allowing more than 200 global brands to send timely and relevant push notifications, in-app messages, and emails to better serve their customers.

In 2022, Clevertap has acquired Leanplum, creating the world’s #1 Retention Cloud, fueled by a $105 Series D funding round shortly after the acquisition.
