About
Fogbender is an Oakland, California-based B2B customer support platform — backed by Y Combinator (W22) with $550,000 in total funding from Y Combinator and Davidovs Venture Collective — providing API and developer tool companies with an embeddable team-to-team messaging widget that brings the collaborative nature of Slack's shared channels to customer support, enabling customer teams and vendor teams to communicate in a real-time shared workspace rather than asynchronous email tickets. Founded in 2020 by CEO Andrei Soroker and reaching $1 million in annual revenue in 2024 with a 6-person team, Fogbender targets the specific support model where the customer is a technical team rather than an individual user — requiring a communication channel where multiple people from both the customer's engineering team and the vendor's support team can collaborate on issues simultaneously.
