Company Description

Sagetap is a rapidly growing startup that is changing the way software vendors bring products to market.

The Sagetap platform combines access to these practitioners with a suite of SaaS tools to help software vendors collect, analyze, and take action on non-customer sentiment in a meaningful way.

Sagetap investors include NfX Ventures, Uncorrelated Ventures, and Emergent Ventures.
