More Cash for Apptentive
Seattle-based in-app customer communication specialist Apptentive has announced $3.6m in new funding, from firms including existing investor SurveyMonkey.
The latest round, led by existing investor Origin Ventures and also including Vulcan Capital and Blossom Street Ventures, adds to $5.3m raised in September 2014, with SurveyMonkey and Origin leading. New money will help to add another 25 staff to the existing base of 30, over the next 12 months.
The firm's software helps clients run in-app surveys and prompt users for ratings and reviews. Revenue has doubled year on year. CEO Robi Ganguly (pictured), a former Director, Global Advertising Marketplaces at Yahoo!, told news site GeekWire.com a profit is 'achievable' this year.
