Tenon: Enterprise Marketing Workflow Company Lands $3 Million Seed Round

By Noah Long ● May 23, 2023

Tenon – an enterprise marketing workflow company – announced recently it has raised a $3 million seed round led by High Alpha and ServiceNow Ventures. Built on ServiceNow, Tenon will use the funds to expand its team and advance its product.

Tenon is led by co-founder Ben Person, a seasoned marketing and software executive well-versed in the ServiceNow ecosystem. And Person previously held the role of CMO at Nuvolo and as a Global ServiceNow Leader for Dell Technologies. Plus he is joined by Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer Ben Ivers who previously served as the VP of Solutions Consulting for Terminus Software and as a Solutions Consultant for Mapp Digital and Teradata.

As the remote work trends continue to expand, Tenon’s development comes at a time when the stakes for effective marketing project management could not be higher. Despite the need, 3 out of 4 marketers are not happy with the way their team manages work or the tools they use. And as a result, 70% of marketers end up working in spreadsheets and manual processes to manage their work. Source: Demand Metric

Tenon was launched in April 2023, out of High Alpha Studio, which is a pioneer of the venture studio model that revolutionized the way startups are launched and grown. Launched in 2015 by veteran SaaS founders who created the Salesforce Marketing Cloud, their portfolio includes disruptive marketing solutions like Lessonly, Zylo, G2, Terminus, and Octiv.
