Docket — a software-as-a-service (SaaS) productivity platform for managing effective meetings — announced that it has raised $1.25 million in funding from new investors Sequoia Capital, Emergence Capital, Horizons Ventures, and Maven Ventures with participation from existing investor High Alpha Capital. And this funding follows Docket’s first-place finish in Zoom’s Marketplace App competition in May.

Docket’s platform ensures business meeting processes are productive, and collaborative. And the platform’s suite of features maximizes the time spent before, during, and after meetings thus making it simple for users to create and share agendas, take complete and accurate notes, assign actions, and share recaps across for organizational alignment.

And the investment extends Docket’s $1.5 million seed round that closed in January led by Allos Ventures with participation from High Alpha Capital, Elevate Ventures, and Simon Equity Partners. And the additional funding allows Docket to expand in engineering and customer success, emphasizing platform growth, user acquisition, and long-term retention.

Before co-founding Docket, CEO and Co-Founder Darin Brown served as the CTO of Angie’s List and Vice President at Salesforce and ExactTarget.

Our focus is to help everyone understand why they are meeting by facilitating the human-led collaboration processes that take place before, during, and after a meeting.”
