Pierce is the Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Knak, the world's first email and landing page creation platform built for enterprise marketing teams.

Local firm that makes it faster and cheaper for companies to create mass email marketing campaigns secures big round from Insight Partners, the same VC that backed Shopify and Rewind.
We had many term sheets, and for us, Insight was the clear winner. If you look at their portfolio, they have some of the best software companies in the world, and they have had an incredible ability to pick companies that really change the world. We want to be one of those companies. There are so many marketers out there today who are still trying to code their emails and code their web pages or they’re working with developers to try and get their work done or they’re working with these very expensive agencies. We want to give marketers that control back.
