DivvyHQ Raises $1.8 Million in Series A Funding

DivvyHQ—the content marketing platform whose clients include Samsung, General Mills and other major companies—has just closed a $1.8 million round of Series A funding.

The money will let DivvyHQ hire sales and marketing personnel, double the size of its development team and add office space.

“This funding will help DivvyHQ continue to draw iconic global brands to our growing list of clients,” said Brock Stechman, co-founder of DivvyHQ.

“Companies like Samsung, General Mills, Lowe’s, Roche, Marketo, Aflac, and TripAdvisor have validated our vision to help streamline and simplify the dizzying volume of marketing and editorial content generated by companies seeking to differentiate their brands.”

DivvyHQ is also looking for more partnerships and integration opportunities with major companies like Microsoft, said Brody Dorland, DivvyHQ’s co-founder.

Investors include DAN Fund LLC, a VC firm from Dallas; Dundee Venture Capital of Omaha; Watson Technology Group and Spotlight Ventures of Kansas City; Gravity Ventures; Tonic Fund; and several individual investors.

DivvyHQ is less than 5 years old. Despite having no advertising, limited marketing and no external sales teams, the company has won over well-known brands in more than 20 countries.

“Content marketing is the most effective type of marketing that companies can do,” said Matt Watson, founder of Watson Technology Group and CEO of tech startup Stackify. “DivvyHQ makes that process simpler and more organized. We believe DivvyHQ is poised for tremendous growth in the exploding content management space as more and more companies put more focus on content marketing.”
