Submittable Raises $10 Million Series B to Transform the Application Submission and Review Process
Submittable, the leading application review and opportunity marketplace, announced a $10 million Series B funding led by Next Coast Ventures with continued participation by returning investors True Ventures, Next Frontier Capital and Flywheel Ventures. The financing will further accelerate the company's ongoing investment in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered matching, review technology and mobile apps connecting more opportunity-seekers with organizations of all sizes. "We haven't just built one of the cleanest and easy-to-use UI's out there, we've perfected the customizable review processes for hundreds of use-cases and are now building out a suite of AI-matching technologies that will help any organization find the right opportunity for them." Since launching in 2010 and graduating from Y Combinator's accelerator program, Submittable has provided over 10,000 organizations a platform for accepting, reviewing and ranking more than 20 million digital submissions and applications from over three million users. The "CRM for submissions" was launched by three creatives -- a writer, a filmmaker and a musician -- who wanted not just to simplify and improve the process of submitting their own work, but also wanted to create a marketplace to match the submissions with real opportunities across many industries including publishing, academia, philanthropy, contests and corporate giving.
