SteelBrick Raises $48 Million in Series C Funding To Deliver on the Need for Speed in Modern Sales

SteelBrick automates sales processes and accelerates revenue growth with next generation Quote-to-Cash software

San Mateo, Calif. October 13, 2015 SteelBrick, the fast-growing provider of next-generation quote-to-cash software applications built on the Salesforce1 platform, today announced that it has closed $48 million in Series C funding led by IVP, with substantial participation from existing investors Emergence Capital, Salesforce Ventures and Shasta Ventures.

This new round brings SteelBrick's total funding received to more than $78 million in the last 18 months. SteelBrick will use the funds to prepare for accelerated growth going into 2016, to build out its next generation Quote-to-Cash software, and to scale its services and support resources globally to meet growing demand, including expanding its new office near London.

SteelBrick will scale quickly to help thousands of modern sales leaders and CFOs around the world accelerate sales cycles and collections. The company recently launched its next generation Quote-to-Cash suite that is natively built on the Salesforce1 platform. The suite features SteelBrick's highly rated Configure, Price, Quotes (CPQ) application for automating sales quoting and contracting and its new SteelBrick Billing application for managing revenue recognition, billing and payment collection across subscription, one-time, and usage based business models.

Together with the new SteelBrick Analytics, these Quote-to-Cash applications allow businesses to analyze and optimize the sales and revenue funnel from end-to-end while increasing sales productivity, eliminating errors, optimizing pricing, increasing cross-selling, and accelerating revenue and cash flow.

Over the past year, SteelBrick has experienced explosive growth:

Grown subscription bookings by over 300 percent per annum

Expanded its customer base over 200 percent to 350 high-growth customers

Built its global team from 50 to 150 talented, caring employees

SteelBrick is about helping our customers grow revenue more quickly and more profitably. With our newly expanded Quote-to-Cash suite, we make closing deals as easy as possible for sales teams, while we help our customers quickly recognize revenue and collect cash, said Godard Abel, CEO of SteelBrick. We're thrilled to now have the capital and support from world class technology investors to build the company of our dreams.

Jules Maltz from IVP will join SteelBrick as a Board Observer. Maltz has previously invested in leading software companies including Dropbox, Marketo (NASDAQ: MKTO), Slack., Yext, Zendesk (NASDAQ: ZEN), and Zenefits.

Over the last year SteelBrick has shown tremendous growth, said Jules Maltz, General Partner at IVP. With the company's innovative and comprehensive approach, unmatched momentum and proven executive team, we believe SteelBrick is primed to solidify its place as the Quote-to-Cash market leader. We are excited to be a part of this next phase.
