Capillary Technologies – a global leader in loyalty management and customer engagement technology solutions – announced recently the successful closure of its Series D funding round. And the company has raised $45 million from a consortium of global investors: Avataar Ventures along with its LPs (Pantheon, 57Stars, and Unigestion), Filter Capital, and Innoven Capital.
This fund round raised through the Series D funding will play a pivotal role in driving Capillary Technologies’ global expansion efforts and supporting its mergers and acquisitions strategy. And over the past few years, the company has achieved remarkable success as enterprise brands worldwide increasingly prioritize customer loyalty to enhance retention rates and decrease customer acquisition costs. Plus Capillary Technologies witnessed exceptional growth in the United States, expanding 3.5 times since the acquisition of Persuade in 2021. The US now accounts for more than a third of Capillary’s revenue.
Capillary Technologies also solidified its position through the acquisition of Brierley, a global leader in loyalty. And Capillary Technologies received recognition as a Leader on the Forrester Wave for Loyalty Technology Solutions earlier this year. These accomplishments – along with ongoing developments – position the company on a trajectory to become the foremost loyalty technology company globally.
Capillary works with over 250 enterprise brands touching more than 1 billion customers across the globe. And some of the largest loyalty programs in the world are run on Capillary’s AI-powered SaaS platform which is loved by brand marketers. This product suite has an extensive integration ecosystem which makes it easy for enterprise brands to go live faster and start seeing results. The secured funding will bolster Capillary’s value proposition and accelerate its global expansion, fostering continued growth across markets.
