Relationship Marketing Platform Sigstr Secures $4 Mn Funding

Edison Partners’ investment recognizes SaaS marketing platform’s revenue growth; will be used to innovate new products and for market expansion  

Indianapolis: Sigstr, a SaaS platform for employee email signature marketing and relationship intelligence, today announced it has secured $4 million in new growth investment led by Edison Partners, a leading growth equity investor. Funds will be used to further advance new product development and enterprise market adoption.

The announcement has come at a time when the company has achieved revenue growth as a result of new customer wins, strong retention and has also seen a three-fold expansion in staff.

The company’s growth comes on the heels of the launch of its relationship intelligence application, Sigstr Pulse, which uses artificial intelligence to map and quantify the collective networks of all employees in a company, providing sales and marketing alignment and better account-based marketing. Adoption of Sigstr Pulse and the Sigstr Signature Campaigns solutions have also helped Sigstr to nearly triple its customer base with the addition of notable brands like Amazon, Experian, Snowflake, AT&T, and GoHealth. Sigstr helps to amplify the value of every email their employees send, and its integrations into CRMs and marketing automation platforms ensures engagement with important target audiences.
