Streak is an American software company which is the developer of an eponymous customer relationship management platform for Gmail.[1][2] The company also developed Secure Mail for Gmail, an open-source Google Chrome extension that allowed users to encrypt their Gmail messages.[3]
Streak was founded in 2011 by Aleem Mawani, a former Google product manager,[4] and Omar Ismail.[5][6] It was accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2011 class[6] and graduated from the accelerator in early 2012.[7] It has received $1.9 million in venture capital.[8] The company held a soft launch of its platform in January 2012;[6] it entered open beta in March of that year.[7]
Streak is a spreadsheet-style[7] customer relationship management plug-in for Gmail that supports both Google Chrome and Safari web browsers.[9][10] Users connect the plugin to their Google account via OpenID and do not share their login credentials with the program.[9] Streak was released as an iOS application in August 2013.[11] It added email read receipts to its platform in early 2014.
