SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DREAMFORCE 2015 -- 6sense, a leading predictive intelligence platform for B2B marketing and sales, announced today at Dreamforce that it has joined Pledge 1%, a corporate philanthropy movement dedicated to making the community a key stakeholder in every business. Founded by Atlassian, the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado, Rally Software and the Salesforce Foundation, Pledge 1% empowers companies to donate 1% of product, 1% of equity, or 1% of employee time to improve communities around the world.

6sense is joining an impressive network of entrepreneurs and companies across the globe that have committed to philanthropic efforts through the Pledge 1% movement.
