In-Depth CRM Review – Sunshine Contacts

About the Company:

Sunshine creates advanced technology to make mundane tasks effortless, free up time, and make it easier to be thoughtful. With its suite of consumer services, Sunshine aims to put people first and use technology to help them get offline. Founded by Marissa Mayer and Enrique Muñoz Torres, Sunshine (formerly Lumi Labs) debuted in November 2020 with the launch of its first app, Sunshine Contacts. The company is based in Palo Alto, CA, and has raised $20 million in capital.

About the Product:

How do you make the mundane magical?  Imagine if your contacts magically stayed up-to-date with no effort on your part.  Or if the great photos you have of your friends got sent to them automatically. What if you never forgot another birthday?

The impossible is now possible. Smartphones have connected the world and put the entire internet into our pockets. We can get whatever we want delivered to our home whenever we want, sometimes by flying drone. With the rise of artificial intelligence, dreams of virtual assistants, self-driving cars and global facial recognition are no longer that far-fetched. However, despite transformational advances in technology, there are still tons of mundane, time-consuming tasks that we all do (or just don’t do) daily.

Sunshine’s technology will make the mundane effortless, free up your time, and make it easier to be thoughtful.

Every day, we muddle through tasks with technology that is “good enough” – contacting friends with stale information that may or may not reach them; searching through email for phone numbers and addresses that we know we have somewhere; manually and painstakingly creating group distribution lists for every occasion; scheduling time to get together with friends using a hodge-podge of calendar, email, and text; pinching and zooming through photos to find one with everyone’s eyes open. We’re used to the mess, and we’ve come to accept the friction. 

No more.  Everyday things should just work, and that’s Sunshine’s mission. We’re creating technology to address practical, everyday pain points in the basic, foundational tools that connect us with the people we care about. Ultimately, Sunshine will remove complexity in things like contact management, scheduling, event organization, and group communication so you can spend time more meaningfully.

We want to put the focus back on people, and let technology advance in its sophistication and fade into the background.

Today, we’re launching Sunshine Contacts (see our announcement here). Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, Sunshine Contacts finds, deduplicates, and organizes your contacts. Using a variety of sources, we ensure your contact list is in one place, organized, always complete, and up-to-date.  Sunshine Contacts makes your contacts just work.

Sunshine Contacts is our foundation. When your contacts are organized and truly work, they create a flywheel where scheduling, planning, organizing, and being thoughtful about your relationships becomes infinitely easier. When your contacts are complete, comprehensive, and accurately reflect relationships, you can spend your time building meaningful connections and shared experiences. Our future suite of products will make it effortless to keep in touch with the people in your life on a personal and professional level in a thoughtful way.

This is just the beginning.  Sunshine is building a suite of services to solve the common pain points that modern technology hasn’t addressed.

At Sunshine, we strive to make the mundane magical. Our vision is to support your day-to-day life – to eliminate time spent on “technology” and simply make things better.  Easier.  If this means you save some “screen time” and give more thought to the most important people in your life, then we’ll know we’ve done it right.

We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
