Founder Note
Why we're here
Most CRMs chase velocity. We chase longevity. 82% of B2B buyers say post-sale engagement builds the most trust.*
We built Stay Close CRM for companies that choose to be partners, not just vendors-and measure success in renewals, not just signatures.

How it started
In May 2025, Viesturs — now my co-founder - asked me to review Oily’s sales process and see what today’s AI could do. I built a simple prototype: invoice-based forecasts, a customer watchlist, and practical insights. We put it in the field for a few weeks, then listened. All six reps independently summed it up: great client relationships are when the client buys - and engages.
Aivars, founder
We did the research and concluded: the buying side already has plenty of tools. The engagement - showing up, remembering, following through - deserve better ones.

What drives us
Authenticity · Integrity · Growth · Compassion
We build with sales teams, not around them. Everything ladders to reliability: capture commitments and insights in the moment; surface timely, contextual reasons to reconnect; and keep stakeholders aligned without losing the human touch. Our AI amplifies judgment and preserves voice-no spammy pushes, no canned "touchpoints."
Our pledge
Show up. Keep our word. Keep improving.
