Spigit On A Roll: Raises Another $10M in Equity Financing

Following its successful release for Facebook analytics, Spigit now shows a strong foothold  by way off $10 million in equity financing. This second augmentation beefs up the enterprise’s financial funds to $20 million and completes the investment from Walburg Pincus. This sum will support Spigit in expanding their customer base, improving its product development and invest in its sales and aggressive marketing efforts.

CEO and Founder of Spigit, Paul Pluschkell relays the company’s vision of growth and how this monetary aid will support their comeback “Spigit continues to lead the way for social business in innovation and idea management,” he says.  “We are growing at approximately 300% year over year by leveraging the most powerful platforms including SharePoint, Facebook and mobile devices to allow innovation to happen anytime, anywhere. With our new round of funding we continue to extract value from the edge to the core by investing in game mechanics, social algorithms, behavioral sciences, and consulting services.”

Spigit was born in 2007 and has shown great potential since then, leveraging the colossal social aptitude accessible to them through their employees, suppliers, and clients. And thanks to Zuckerberg’s billion-dollar social network, Spigit’s most recent release landed with a bang via SpigitEngage for Facebook. Other products launched by the company include SpigitFusion and SpigitEngage for Sharepoint, which is a prominent feature in its toolkit.

Spigit’s boasts a line-up of key industry players as customers.
