Companies around the world such as AAA, Eurostar, Leukemia& Lymphoma Society, Quantcast, and Splunk rely on Simpplr to streamline internal communications and forge employee connections
FREMONT, CA: Simpplr, the leading provider of modern intranet software, raised $10 million in series B funding, bringing the total amount to nearly $30 million. The financing round was led by Norwest Venture Partners with participation from Salesforce Ventures, both previous investors in the company.
Simpplr will use the newly raised capital to accelerate product innovation, fuel go-to-market expansion, and extend its partner ecosystem.
"Right now companies are realizing that they need to create a definitive source of truth for internal communication. Employees are spread out across geographies, physically isolated from coworkers and in need of connection," said Dhiraj Sharma, founder, and CEO of Simpplr. "We are reinventing the intranet, creating a virtual headquarters, company newsroom and online watercooler that employees love. Simpplr is purpose-built to empower employees to collaborate across departments and stay connected to the broader organization. This has helped drive customer adoption that is five times the industry average and deliver 97percent customer retention."
