249: VentureApp Raises $4M in Funding to Accelerate Growth of Professional Chat Platform

May 1, 2017

According to a Business Insider report, messaging apps are growing faster than social networks. While consumer social networks have moved aggressively to take advantage of the rise of mobile messaging, there is a huge void in the market for chatting with your extended business network.

Further, LinkedIn users are unhappy with the social network experience due to recruiter solicitations and InMail spam, which no longer makes it the platform to engage with your most valued business connections.

VentureApp is a chat platform for professionals to communicate with their closest business contacts and connect with new partners in their extended business network. 

Upon hearing about $4 million funding and that thousands of professionals from DraftKings, Silicon Valley Bank, HubSpot, Drizly, Goodwin Procter, and more, are chatting on VentureApp, I invited Chase Garbarino, co-founder and CEO onto the show to learn more.
