Boostly, a marketing platform for restaurants, announced it has raised $5.6 million in seed funding, led by Trestle Partners and with participation from Relish Works, Singularity Capital, and Y Combinator. This funding will accelerate Boostly’s goal of providing rocket fuel for restaurants by utilizing customer data to drive orders and revenue with minimal effort.
Boostly facilitated over $50 million in restaurant sales since inception, demonstrating the platform’s effectiveness in generating substantial returns for its clients.
Boostly’s automated platform enabled thousands of restaurants across North America to build a CRM for both online and offline customers, utilizing SMS marketing to engage customers effectively. And Boostly addresses the challenge of building a large SMS subscriber base quickly by working seamlessly with all of a restaurant’s technology sources to gather relevant insights and deliver uniquely engaging messages that achieve 10 times greater engagement rates than traditional SMS marketing systems.
Launched by repeat entrepreneurs Shane and Mikey Murphy, Boostly utilizes their extensive experience in restaurant technology. With the new funding, Boostly plans to expand its team, enhance its platform, and increase its market presence.
