Five9 corporate headquarters in Pleasanton, CA

From Pioneer to Category Leader

Five9 was founded by five technology visionaries who left a leading player in the call center industry to create their own company in December 2001. These visionaries understood the untapped potential of Voice-over-IP and the emerging Software-as-a-Service model.

Their vision was to deliver the value of leading call center software at an affordable price, and they saw how a hosted solution could dramatically improve return on investment results. Their commitment to service excellence is embodied in the company name—the five nines of reliability—typically associated with world-class telecommunications providers.

Using their own investment, they released the first version of the Five9 Virtual Call Center in March of 2003. Since then, with a strong executive team and top-tier investors fueling continued success, Five9 has outpaced the hosted call center industry.

With over 170 employees world-wide, Five9 has one of the largest engineering organizations in the industry, allowing the company to be at the forefront of innovation in the hosted call center space. The company has strong yearly revenue growth and is profitable. Since the company's inception, Five9 has steadily acquired customers of increasing size and scope of business needs, and now serves all customer size bands in the on-demand call center software market: Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, Mid-Market, and Enterprise.
