LoopFuse Closes $1.4 Million in Series A Funding, Lands New CEO

Demand for New Breed of Analytical Sales and Marketing Tools Skyrocketing for Today's Value-Driven Marketing Departments

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 12, 2009 -- LoopFuse, Inc (http://www.loopfuse.com/), the leader in sales and marketing automation today announced that it has secured $1.4 million in Series A venture capital funding led by True Ventures (http://www.trueventures.com/) that will help the company expand quickly to meet growing customer demand. The company is also announcing the addition of Sean Dwyer as CEO, to provide executive leadership and to guide the company through rapid expansion. Since early 2008, fueled by increased pressure for marketers and sales executives to prioritize and convert high volumes of web leads to enterprise level sales, demand for the company's flagship software service, OneView™, has increased 500 percent.

"Creating a profitable and scalable business today requires a clear focus on generating, managing, and closing qualified leads. LoopFuse has successfully built a SaaS solution that makes marketing measurable and ROI driven and is extraordinarily powerful, low cost, and easy to use," said John Burke, general partner at True Ventures. "We were especially impressed by how their customers evangelized for them, describing LoopFuse as "addictive," "critical," and "essential" for their businesses - statements that are all the more important during these challenging economic times."

The funding will enable LoopFuse to aggressively expand its product portfolio and field operations to keep pace with rapid adoption of its OneView™ software service. Key to this expansion is the addition of Sean Dwyer as CEO. Dwyer brings a stellar record in business expansion and customer focus from his previous experience at market leaders like XAware, S1 Corp and BEA Systems (acquired by Oracle).

"LoopFuse is the first software product that successfully closes the loop between prospects, the website, marketing and sales." said Dwyer. "LoopFuse is an early leader and is disrupting the entire market. I am excited to be part of this groundshift in the market and to work with a stand-out team and partner like True Ventures."

LoopFuse is widely used by many fast-growing businesses to quickly automate the process of analyzing large volumes of marketing information collected on web sites and email campaigns. Companies such as Hyperic, Zimbra (a Yahoo!
