Business acquisition strengthens Telegram's B2B sales support structure with the acquisition of Dise by Minders.
Minders Bolsters Telegram Sales Infrastructure with Acquisition of CRM Platform Dise
In a move to strengthen its position in the Telegram ecosystem, Minders has announced the acquisition of Dise, a CRM platform designed specifically for sales teams operating on the messaging app.
Pavel Osokin, CEO of Minders, expressed his excitement about the acquisition, saying, "We are thrilled to bring Dise's expertise and product into Minders, as it will significantly enhance our ecosystem."
Dise offers a full CRM and client lifecycle management solution within the Telegram messenger platform, making it an ideal addition to Minders' growing portfolio of Telegram-first tools. The acquisition will allow Minders to integrate Dise with its existing tools like TADS (an ad network for mini apps), CatchUP (a meeting scheduler), Telesend (messaging automation), and others.
The integration aims to provide businesses with a comprehensive suite of Telegram-native tools, enhancing their sales infrastructure and reaching an estimated 450 million users.
Oleksii Sidorov, CEO of Dise, stated that the team faced the issue of structuring sales within messenger platforms themselves and believed they were the best people to solve it. Sidorov is proud of what Dise's team achieved without raising outside capital.
With the acquisition, Dise will be transformed into a modular, flexible infrastructure layer powered by Minders' products. This architecture will enable teams to deploy and adapt their workflows using Telegram-native tools, thereby enhancing the scalability and adaptability of their sales processes.
The acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Minders' ability to support businesses operating on Telegram by providing structured sales infrastructure. This will help businesses transition from informal communication to more organized and trackable sales processes, especially within the crypto and Telegram-first sectors.
By joining Minders, Dise aims to scale its vision of a "next-gen CRM for a post-email era" to the next million businesses. This involves continuously developing and refining its AI-native CRM platform to meet evolving sales team needs.
The original founding team of Dise will continue working independently on new AI-native products, such as Slice & Dice, a toolkit for AI product analytics.
Dise has gained users from major firms such as Adidas, the TON Foundation, Polygon, a16z Crypto, and MEXC. The platform offers features including deal tracking, analytics, outreach tools, in-person prospecting via a "conference mode," and AI-powered features.
The mission of Dise is to make Telegram-based sales as structured and trackable as any other sales process. With the acquisition by Minders, this mission is set to reach a wider audience, strengthening Minders' position in the Telegram ecosystem and enhancing its offerings for businesses.
