About Athean

Athean began at Verkada as an internal sales prospecting tool in response to the challenges posed by a rapidly growing sales team, where traditional prospecting methods and existing tools were becoming less effective.

Since its internal launch, we’ve seen overwhelming adoption from our 500 person sales team, with resounding preference over existing, market-leading sales tools. Reflecting on its success, we saw the potential to share this powerful tool with the market and build new innovations.

Athean, a subsidiary of Verkada, is a venture into the sales tools market. The sales engagement tools industry alone represents a $9 billion opportunity, offering vast potential for innovation and growth. At Athean, we are committed to revolutionizing the way buyers and sellers connect. Join us on this exciting journey.
