Raven360, the leader in customer journey acceleration solutions, announced the closing of an $8 million Series B funding round. The round was led by new investors Technology Venture Partners and Allos Ventures, joined by prior investors Nauta Capital and NXT Ventures.
“This platform helps marketing teams to build a long-term, company-curated lead-generation asset, and to reduce reliance on increasingly expensive and ineffective external lead-generation.”
Raven360 accelerates the customer decision-making process for enterprises by helping marketers develop and deploy buyer journey content within Digital Academies, which leads to faster purchasing decisions. Marketing professionals are increasingly faced with software buyers who seek to conduct extensive product research outside the traditional walls of a vendor’s website and that do not conform to the traditional “funnel” approaches to selling. With Raven360-enabled Digital Academies, web visitors become product evaluators from their first interaction by aligning relevant seller content with buyer problems. These Academies provide an optimal path for prospects to learn about, demo, and buy Raven360 clients’ products, gaining growing expertise, confidence, and commitment to spend. As usage expands, the Academies produce a rising share of the client’s leads and deliver predictive insights on prospects’ buying-journey progression and how to best support buyer-led purchases.
