Why we're building BackPocket

Most tools are either heavyweight CRMs designed for sales teams or shallow contact lists. We wanted something that supports real relationships: context, reminders, and follow-through without turning people into "leads."

Our values

  • Privacy first - Your relationships stay yours. No scraping, no selling data.
  • Trust over growth hacks - We build for users, not engagement metrics.
  • Lightweight by design - Quick capture, not data entry sessions.
  • Real relationships - People aren't leads or pipeline. They're people.
