History
LeadCrunch was founded in 2013 (by the name of Englue, Inc.) by Olin Hyde, Sanjit Singh and Brent Payne as an independently owned spinout from ai-one, inc. which had previously acquired a company founded by Hyde. The company was incubated by StartR Program at the University of California, San Diego where it was renamed to LeadCrunch. The team used rapid prototyping to develop six minimally viable prototypes (MVPs) by testing market adoption using lean startup techniques. LeadCrunch was first announced in July 2015. LeadCrunch was admitted into the EvoNexus incubator in December 2015. It was named one of the “Cool Companies in San Diego” by the San Diego Venture Group in May 2016.
