Contact Squirrel is was first created by Holy Fire Games; a video game development studio who develops PC, Mobile, and Web games. While creating their projects, they needed an in-house tool to keep track of all of our communication between our influencer outreach team and the influencers they were reaching out to.

While there are plenty of complicated CRM platforms available, they wanted a custom solution that allowed their team to easily create, manage, and access the important information on each of their contacts. After building this platform, they felt that others might be able to leverage it to better maintain the information they collect on any contacts they deal with, without having to deal with a bloated and complicated CRM platform.

They named this new public platform Contact Squirrel because squirrels are amazing animals who love to collect nuts and store them for later use. This perfectly explains the value of this platform as it allows you to collect, store, and access information on all of your contacts that you normally wouldn’t be able to remember. It allows you to schedule followup, receive reminders, add TODO lists, personal notes, and much more!

Some of the more recent additions to Contact Squirrel had team work in mind, when it was realized that there weren't many team-based solutions for contact management. Many users in the Network Marketing and Direct Sales industry use Contact Squirrel to not only manage their personal contacts, but also share information, training and other helpful tools with their own team.

Now, Contact Squirrel is owned and maintained by Think Ahead Tech. The founder of Think Ahead Tech happens to be the lead web developer for Holy Fire Games, Mike Cotton.
