Enpocket, the leading wireless marketing solution provider, has secured further funding from its existing backers Nokia Venture Partners and GrandBanks Capital and attracted a new investor, New York-based Dolphin Equity.
The company, which has built a successful and profitable business, is to use the multimillion-dollar funding round to help pave the way for acquisitions and a more rapid build out of international operations. Enpocket has already established offices in New York, London, Los Angeles and Palo Alto, and announced in October its acquisition of the technology and IP of the early wireless market leader, SkyGo.
Commenting on the funding, Jonathon Linner, CEO of Enpocket, said:
We are very proud to have backing from such an outstanding group of investors. This round will enable Enpocket to continue its aggressive expansion and acquisition strategy and support its pioneering work in emerging technologies.’
Mark Brooks, Partner at Dolphin Equity, added: ‘Dolphin is very excited to be backing the leader in the wireless marketing space. Enpocket’s technology, management and customer base are second-to-none. The company is uniquely positioned in that it is the only mobile marketing firm with the experience and know-how from working with major brands and network operators in Europe, Asia and the US.’
