Chili Piper

Meeting scheduling and lead routing platform that qualifies inbound leads and books them onto a rep's calendar in real time.

Chili Piper was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2016 by married co-founders Nicolas Vandenberghe and Alina Vandenberghe, who funded the early product themselves. The original insight was narrow: when a website form gets filled out, most companies still make the lead wait for a human to follow up, and every hour of delay measurably lowers the odds of ever booking a meeting. Concierge, the product built to fix that, instantly qualifies an inbound lead against routing rules and shows them a rep's real calendar availability without leaving the web page, closing the gap between form-fill and booked meeting to minutes. The company has since built out a broader suite around that core: Distro for routing and assigning CRM records, Handoff for passing a qualified lead from an SDR to an AE's calendar, and standalone scheduling links for individual reps. Chili Piper raised a Series B in 2021 that valued it at roughly $625 million, backed by investors including Blossom Street Ventures and Base10 Partners, and reports customers including Airbnb, Spotify, and Intuit. Alina and Nicolas Vandenberghe continue to run the company as co-CEOs.
