AboutKaname · Founded 2024

We built the inbox
we needed.

A focused email workspace for founders who run sales, fundraising, and support from their inbox — and can't afford to miss a signal.

From the founder

Chandra Singh
Founder & CEO

Hi. I'm Chandra.I built Kaname because I was losing deals in my own inbox. Not to bad products or weak pitches — to inbox chaos. Hot leads buried under newsletters. Follow-ups forgotten because I switched tabs. Replies that came two days too late.

I tried every CRM. They all wanted me to live somewhere other than my email. The truth is, the most important conversations in any early-stage company happen in email threads — and no one had built the right shell around that.

So we built Kaname. It reads every inbound thread, classifies leads automatically, tracks your pipeline inside the inbox, and writes the follow-up draft so you just review and send. No migration. No extra tabs. No data entry.

I use Kaname every day to sell Kaname. That feedback loop keeps us honest.

Most founders run sales from a raw email tab. Hot leads sit next to newsletters. Follow-ups get forgotten. We built Kaname to fix that.

What we built

Four pillars
01
Unified inbox
Multiple email accounts and custom IMAP/SMTP mailboxes in one shell. Switch contexts without switching tabs.
02
Auto-captured leads
Every inbound email is read, classified, and turned into a CRM lead record — with contact info, intent, and urgency score — before you open your inbox.
03
AI-suggested replies
Kaname reads the thread, your product context, and your knowledge base, then writes a follow-up draft. You review and send. Thirty minutes of composition becomes thirty seconds.
04
Pipeline that lives in email
Stages, follow-up tracking, and conversation history attached directly to the thread. No separate CRM tab. No data entry.

What we care about

Principles
we build by

Context over notifications
We don't ping you more. We give you the right thread at the right time, with everything you need to act on it.
AI that assists, not replaces
Every AI output is a suggestion, not an action. You stay in control. The model saves the time, you make the call.
Your data, your rules
OAuth access you can revoke in one click. We don't archive your mail. We don't train models on your conversations.
I wanted an inbox that thinks like a sales person — not just a mail client with labels. Kaname is that inbox.
