Our Roots
Bold Software exists because of lessons learned by our Founder, Kent Johnson, in the dotcom boom and bust. Kent devised and built bottomdollar.com, a consumer-focused price comparison engine, selling it to ShopNow near the peak of dotcom valuations. Fresh on that heady success he started Loudfire, which developed and marketed a series of mobile-enabled applications. He invested heavily to make it work, but ultimately it didn't.
Through both successes and failures, the lessons of lean operations, agile development, relevant products, and advantaged pricing became the DNA of Bravestorm, born in 2003 and recently renamed Bold Software. Kent is off inventing other exciting web-centric solutions that you can read about here.
What was started modestly from home by Mr. Johnson is now a leading provider with a significant and respected voice in the market. Offering a suite of products recognized around the world for delivering superior value for the cost.

Our Vision
Bold Software's mission is to ensure that every commercial website in the world has at least one managed communication technology available for its visitors. The company embarked on this mission over six years ago because it believed then, as it does now, that human contact drives business success. In a world consumed by technological advancement, automation, and analytics, all the software we create has one key element at its core – it facilitates meaningful engagements between people.
We think that the kinds of communications our products make possible are mission critical. Our customers tell us they rely on our solutions and our own proprietary research confirms the technology's efficacy. And that is why we also believe that website communication operations belong in the hands of those who actually operate the website - because you shouldn't outsource the art and science of interacting with your visitors.
Lastly, we think top-notch website communications technology ought to be within everyone's reach. That's why we offer a robust suite of flexible solutions for a fraction of competitors' prices.
Website owners work hard to bring vibrant content that will lead to sales of their product through their website. They hone their SEO and SEM strategies to drive quality traffic to their site. Yet, without Bold Software's products, they are blind and mute to the visitors they have worked so hard to get.
Our website communication tools enable our customers to:
- See who is on their website in realtime
- Understand key data elements about their origin like Keywords, Geo-info, New or Repeat Visitor and page they are currently viewing
- Utilize this data with a real-time analytics engine to initiate interactions with these visitors via chat or call
- Do so efficiently and effectively whether you are a small e-tailer or an enterprise
- And provide reports to help hone your business processes.
We believe that our products go far beyond simple savings for live help scenarios (although they do that too). Our products can transform your business and give you a sustainable advantage over your competition.
As an organization of entrepreneurs, we have unusually high regard for input from our customers. They regularly tell us how our products can be better and we listen - because they are who we serve.
