In late 2009, current Sprout Social CEO Justyn Howard was working for an enterprise software company and was looking for a tool to help him use social media to connect and communicate with customers. He found that solutions on the market were consumer-focused and lacked the business component that would make social media truly work for brands. So he set out to build a solution, working alongside current Sprout CTO Aaron Rankin, Creative Director Gil Lara, and Director of Web & Mobile Engineering Peter Soung.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://doeswhat.com/2013/04/22/interview-with-justyn-howard-sprout-social/|title=What is Sprout Social and how does it work?|first=Jenna|last=Questly|date=May 20, 2018|website= doeswhat.com}}</ref>
