Keap was founded by Clate Mask and brothers Scott and Eric Martineau in 2001. The company began as a start-up in Mesa, Ariz., next door to a mattress store. In 2004, Keap wrote a script to automate sales leads, which became the foundation of Keap's SaaS product range.
Less than a decade later, Keap's revenues increased 50 percent between 2011 and 2012, and by January 2013, Keap had raised $71 million in venture capital with $54 million invested by Goldman Sachs. Later that month, Keap purchased GroSocial, a social media marketing software company.
In 2014, Keap concluded its Series D funding led by Bain Capital Ventures, generating an additional $55 million.

In total, the company has raised over $145 million.
