Today, we secured $7.9 million in Series B funding from our newest investor, vSpring. This is huge because it empowers us to continue to help small businesses grow quickly and profitably. We’re proud to have vSpring join MDV in enabling us to help small business owners and entrepreneurs everywhere.
The excitement and energy here is impressive. To begin, here is the quote from Clate Mask, CEO of Infusionsoft:
“When we started Infusionsoft, we realized that there was no solution geared towards helping the true small business succeed, without adding a lot of overhead. The new financing from vSpring demonstrates both the success we’ve had to date in building a strong software company and our potential to quickly become a recognized market leader. I am especially proud of raising capital despite the negativity that is so pervasive in this economic climate – it’s a testament to our investors’ confidence in our business and the power of the entrepreneurial mindset. In 2009, Infusionsoft will be dedicated to liberating and empowering every growth-oriented entrepreneur and small business that can benefit from automation and always-on marketing.”
And an optimistic outlook comes from vSpring’s managing director, Scott Petty:
“Infusionsoft’s impressive momentum and fiercely loyal customer base clearly shows that their product is adding significant value to small businesses across the country, changing the way small businesses grow. Infusionsoft’s Web-based software helps companies grow their sales without having to hire costly staff, a significant value to small businesses in this economic climate. While other software sectors could see a lag in 2009, we anticipate a strong opportunity for Infusionsoft to continue to gain market share as they help entrepreneurs convert customers and build revenue.”
Finally, a few words from Infusionsoft’s founder and Vice President of Product Management, Scott Martineau:
“We are fired up about the fundraising round, because it’s one more piece of evidence predicting what is to come for entrepreneurship in the near future. While “Corporate America” reacts to the gloom and doom of the current economic climate with sweeping cuts from the boardroom, the New Entrepreneur has no choice but to turn off the 10:00 news and innovate more quickly. Infusionsoft is clearly poised to enable entrepreneurs to automate and systematize their businesses so that the economic climate almost becomes irrelevant.“
Again, we’re excited to be able to help out small business owners globally. All of us are incredibly thankful for all of our customers who help make this possible. We do it with tenacity, finesse, ethics and pride. Recently, Clate shared our core values, purpose and overall company philosophy here on the blog, it’s worth checking out.
