Customer activation and engagement platform company Cohora announced it raised a $2.5 million round of additional seed funding. This funding round was led by Volition Capital and PJC and will fuel the company’s next stage of growth by bolstering sales and marketing efforts, continuing product enhancement, and supporting early customers in the cosmetics, fashion, and travel sectors.
Cohora’s customer activation and engagement platform helps brands unlock more revenue from current customers by measuring and optimizing post-transaction engagement. And the foundation of Cohora is customer-generated content that enables social commerce by collecting first-party consumer data. Relationship activations include polls and surveys, contest participation, event hosting, cross-channel promotions, reward redemption, rewards for product promotion, and exclusive access to new products, among many other features.
