Bloomfire, the leading knowledge sharing software company, announced the closing of $12.8 million in Series B funding from Austin Ventures. The company will leverage the funding to scale its sales and marketing teams and further develop its platform to fuel growth for its leading knowledge sharing platform.
“This capital shows that Bloomifre is delivering on a clear need for knowledge sharing across the enterprise,” said Mark Hammer, COO of Bloomfire. “It also recognizes our opportunity to grow our business with a broad range of services that drive ever-increasing value for all of our customers — across their organizations.”
“Nearly every company has the problem Bloomfire’s knowledge sharing platform solves: providing employees with easy access to the information they need to do their jobs,” said Chris Pacitti, General Partner at Austin Ventures. “This funding will enable Bloomfire to continue to innovate its products and further develop its core services for knowledge sharing across the enterprise.”
The announcement comes on the tails of the release of Bloomfire’s sales enablement product, called Bloomfire SE. Bloomfire SE extends the capabilities of Bloomfire’s core product to allow sales reps to share content with prospects and gain actionable analytics into the effectiveness of marketing content and the sales rep’s use of that content.
