Congrats on another big milestone to Fran Brzyski, Matthew Ring, and the entire Hark team, and welcome to the Tenzing Capital Ventures portfolio! Any CX / Support / Revenue leaders in my network need to check out how Hark is leading the next generation in Voice of Customer. Leading brands have been shifting to a focus on Lifetime Value and Retention, but they continue to use tools like static surveys and NPS metrics to understand their customers… Hark is creating a new way. Pumped that Tenzing was able to join such a strong group of investors alongside Oceans, Converge, Atman Capital, Alumni Ventures, BDMI, Leeor Cohen, Jess Cervellon, Zach Goldstein, Lightbank, Everywhere Ventures, RiverPark Ventures, Green Egg Ventures, Gaingels, M13, Hatchet Ventures ??, Neil Capel, Stephan Cizmar, Mike MacCombie, Austin Rief, Pierson Krass, Bill Pescatello & Jyothi Vallurupalli.

???Zack Oates?? and the Ovation team, congrats on another big milestone! Restaurant owners, operators, franchise leaders, and anybody who wants improved guest experience metrics in a simple, elegant solution should talk with Zack and his team. Tenzing Capital Ventures is a proud investor in Ovation, and I know a long list of happy customers and partners.

Congratulations on another big milestone for Matt Biringer, Yassine A?oine, and the North team, and welcome to the Tenzing Capital Ventures portfolio! Simple equation on this one: cloud spending and complexity up, customers of North see that cost and complexity go down. Rinse, repeat, growth. I am pumped that Tenzing was able to join such a strong group of investors alongside Alpaca VC,?Looking Glass Capital,?Uncommon Denominator,?Everywhere Ventures,?Riverside Ventures,?&?DragonX Capital.

Excited to announce--Ovation has now raised $9M! Tough market to raise, but we were able to bring on some incredible investors for this most recent boost of 2 million--most from current investors! Grateful for TIA Ventures (Andy Greenfield and Wills Hapworth) for leading the round and continuing to believing in us! Also thanks to other new and current investors, such as: - Jim Mizes (Former CEO, Blaze Pizza, President, Freebirds World Burrito, Einstein/Noah's Bagels) - Carin Stutz (Former exec, Applebee's, Brinker International, Red Robin) - Erle Dardick (Founder, MonkeyMedia Software, Off-premises expert) - Jason Syversen (CEO, SportsVisio, Managing Partner, 10X Venture Partners) - Christopher Sebes (Former President, Xenial) - Tammy K. Billings, MBA (Restaurant marketing veteran) With this recent funding, we are going to keep developing our guest experience platform to make it even easier for restaurants to improve operationally, recover their guests, and drive revenue with their feedback. Wills Hapworth, General Partner at TIA Ventures explained the reason behind further investment: “Consumers work so hard for their dollars. They then spend their money at establishments trusting they will deliver great experiences. When that doesn’t happen it is disappointing, and even more frustrating when it feels like the brand doesn’t care. At the same time, we know it is really tough to run a great business that delivers flawless service all the time. Ovation solves this complicated problem, giving brands real-time eyes and ears into the consumer’s experience to make improvements?and build loyal customers for life. Most importantly, it makes life better for everyone. This is why we are so excited about a future with Ovation everywhere.” So grateful for the incredible team at Ovation. Nothing would be possible without them!!!!! We're doing it!! Link in comments to read more. #fundraising #ovation
