Cliently, an automated sales engagement and lead generation company, announced it has raised a new $1 million seed round of funding. This round was led by Active Capital. AltaIR Capital also participated in this round — which is a VC firm where Cliently CEO and founder Spencer Farber served as a Director of Sales. Farber previously worked at PandaDoc as a director.
With this funding round, Cliently has hired Huey Ly as CTO. Ly used to work as a software engineer at companies like Rackspace, Mailgun, SeatSmart, and Filestack. Recently, Cliently relocated its headquarters from Myrtle Beach to San Antonio.
“I love the startup ecosystem in San Antonio, especially how supportive the community is,” Farber added. “We have seen our revenue grow by 250% over the last couple of months since moving here,” said Farber.
Personalized emails, videos, and physical mail are often used to drive higher engagement. But the current solutions are not scalable or tailored for every day small businesses. Cliently solves this issue by acting as the complete sales engagement platform for small businesses. Using Cliently, teams will spend less time and energy on manual tasks and more time on responding to real prospects.
“Most small businesses lack large marketing budgets and aren’t going to stack specialized sales tools,” added Active Capital founder and CEO Pat Matthews.
Farber said that his goal was to create a solution that any sales or marketing team could deploy in minutes rather than weeks or months. And with Cliently’s sales engagement platform, the company’s customers can search targeted premium contacts and send personalized emails, postcards, video messages, handwritten notes, and gifts.
