UserEvidence – a customer voice platform for B2B go-to-market (GTM) teams – recently announced $9 million in Series A funding led by Crosslink Capital with participation from Founder Collective, Afore, and Next Frontier Capital, bringing the total funding to $14 million.
Creating customer stories has always been labor-intensive and time-consuming for the GTM teams. Many customers cannot share their success stories on record with software vendors, strictly limiting the amount of referenceable content GTM teams can use. GTM teams believe they have two options to address this challenge: invest a significant budget to create high-quality content for a handful of customers or manually attempt to create content in-house with limited resources. Unfortunately, neither option proves to be cost-effective or scalable.
UserEvidence solves this issue with a customer voice platform that turns survey feedback into verified proof points in minutes. GTM teams can publish shareable on-brand content and tailor it to specific use cases based on company size, industry or geography in just a few clicks.
Through UserEvidence, software vendors could reinforce product claims backed by customer data, instilling confidence in buyers to make well-informed purchasing decisions. Buyers are under more pressure than ever from the C-suite to consolidate tech stacks, remove redundancies, and cut costs. Buyers cannot afford to trust vendor claims without seeing relevant customer examples validated by real-world data and verified by customers.
