Cleave CRM Launches Kickstarter After Securing $60K+ in Pre-Launch Funding
Worcester, MA – Cleave CRM today announced the official launch of its Kickstarter campaign, following more than $60,000 in pre-launch founder and early supporter funding. The campaign will help complete the final development push toward Cleave’s planned April 2026 beta and onboard its first wave of users.
Cleave CRM is a fast, no-fluff CRM platform built for small and mid-sized businesses, agencies, and call-heavy sales teams. Instead of bloated feature sets and paywalled functionality, Cleave focuses on the core tools teams actually use every day—contacts, companies, calls, deals, automations, calendars, forms, funnels, and review management—delivered in a single, streamlined interface.
“Most CRMs feel slow, overcomplicated, and designed around upsells,” said David S. Markey, Founder & CEO of Cleave CRM. “We’re building Cleave to be the opposite: fast, focused, and fair. Our goal is to give businesses everything they need to run their day-to-day without hiding key features behind higher-tier plans.”
The Kickstarter will fund final development, infrastructure, and onboarding while allowing Cleave to remain independent and community-driven, rather than relying on additional outside investment. Reward tiers include early access, discounted pricing, swag, and higher levels with extended or lifetime access to the platform. A $5 “Believer” tier publicly thanks early backers by name on Cleave’s site.
The Cleave CRM Kickstarter is now live and can be accessed via the homepage at https://app.cleavecrm.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleave CRM Unveils Soft Launch of cleavecrm.com Ahead of Upcoming Kickstarter Campaign
New CRM aims to cut the bloat, kill the paywalls, and give calling teams a faster, more focused platform.
Worcester, MA – January 9, 2026 – Cleave CRM today announced the soft launch of its new marketing site at cleavecrm.com, giving business owners, agencies, and sales teams a first look at its upcoming CRM platform. The company also confirmed that its Kickstarter campaign will officially launch next week, inviting early adopters to help shape the product before full release.
Cleave CRM is being built for small and mid-sized businesses and agencies that are tired of bloated, slow, and overcomplicated CRMs. The platform focuses on the core tools teams actually use every day—contacts, companies, calls, deals, automations, calendars, and review generation—delivered in a single, fast, no-fluff interface. Built-in telephony, call queues, call scripts, and smart voicemail features are designed to make cold calling and follow-up more efficient instead of more painful.
Funds raised through the Kickstarter campaign will be used to complete final development of key modules, scale the infrastructure for early adopters, and invest in onboarding resources—such as training, documentation, and live support—to help teams get value from day one. A portion of the funds will also go toward ongoing feature refinement driven by community feedback, ensuring the roadmap stays tightly aligned with real-world users.
“We’re building the CRM we always wished existed,” said David S. Markey, Founder & CEO of Cleave CRM. “The soft launch of cleavecrm.com is the first step in bringing our vision to the world, and next week’s Kickstarter will give early supporters a chance to get in on the ground floor and directly influence what we build next.”
Visitors to cleavecrm.com can learn more about the product vision, explore planned features, and sign up for updates to be notified when the Kickstarter goes live and early access opportunities become available.
