About Salesnet
Salesnet emerged in 1997 as a developer of online Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, establishing itself as a key player in the nascent software-as-a-service (SaaS) market. The company was founded by Jonathan Tang and Richard Perkett. Over its history, Salesnet secured approximately $11.1 million in funding from investors including Juniper Capital Ventures, Prism Venture Management, and Virtus Investment Partners. In May 2006, the company was acquired by RightNow Technologies, which was subsequently acquired by Oracle in 2011, making Salesnet a part of the Oracle Service Cloud.
