Com o aporte, a rede social focada em localização pretende investir em novos produtos O Foursquare anunciou, nesta terça-feira (02), o primeiro fechamento de uma rodada série F de investimentos – a startup receberá, no total, um aporte de US$ 33 milhões liderado pelo Simon Ventures e pela Naver Corp. A startup, criada há quase 10 anos, permite que os usuários façam “check-in” dos locais que frequentam e interajam com pessoas que também visitam os mesmos lugares. O Foursquare utiliza a gamificação para mantê-los engajados, ao mesmo tempo em que fornece às empresas mais informações sobre os hábitos de consumo de seus clientes – entre elas, o Tinder, Spotify, Hilton, Uber, Apple, Samsung e Twitter. “A nossa série F é sobre os investidores certos no tempo certo, que irão reconhecer nosso valor e irão trabalhar, profundamente, para construir o Foursquare do futuro”, disse Jeff Glueck, CEO do Foursquare, em um post de anúncio do investimento. Como a rodada de investimentos foi dividida em dois momentos, o primeiro fechamento – no valor de US$ 25 milhões – aconteceu nesta sexta-feira (28). A startup já antecipa um segundo fechamento no valor de ao menos US$ 8 milhões até o final do ano. Na rodada, o Foursquare recebe dois novos investidores – os próprios Simon Ventures e Naver Corpo -, mas também contou com o retorno da Union Square Ventures. O CEO da startup afirmou que os investidores “entendem que somos um player crítico para a saúde da indústria de tecnologia”. “É por isso que estamos construindo uma empresa que se destaca do Google e Facebook como a plataforma independente mais confiável para entender locais”, escreveu no post. Com o investimento, agora a startup pretende refinar seus produtos, permitindo que marqueteiros e desenvolvedores criem funções de localização do Foursquare em aplicativos, campanhas de marketing e engajamento e se conectem com plataformas de CRM. “Nós investiremos em produto e iremos introduzir o melhor grupo de ferramentas que nossos clientes precisam”, disse o CEO. Hoje, a startup possui mais de 150 países na plataforma, e possui mais de 100 milhões de locais onde os usuários podem fazer check-in. Leia mais em starse 02/10/2018 15 outubro 2018
