About Brightenly
Building the tools freelancers and small teams deserve
Hi, I'm Tomo
Before founding Brightenly, I walked the same path many of you are on. I started as a developer and translator, juggling clients, deadlines, and the endless admin work that comes with being independent.
I struggled with tools that were either too complicated, too expensive, or just not built for people like us. After years working as a regional manager at the world's #1 CRM and as an architect at a leading fintech platform, I knew there had to be a better way.
So I built Brightenly — the CRM I wished I had when I was freelancing. Simple, powerful, and designed specifically for freelancers and small businesses.
