San Francisco – awe.sm, the San Francisco-based developer of a platform designed to help companies harness social data, said on Thursday it has raised $4 million in its first round of funding, co-led by Foundry Group and GRP Partners.
Previous backer Neu Venture Capital and new investor kbs+p Ventures also participated in the round, which the company will use to expand its staff and accelerate the development of new platform features.
The subscription-based platform, priced starting at $15 a month, allows software developers to add social-media performance tracking to their websites and online applications. Using awe.sm’s tools, application developers can track which social media posts lead to pageviews, signups, purchases and other business goals; and understand performance trends such as which users, social networks or marketing campaigns had the most positive impact.
Clients include Groupon, Playdom and LocalResponse.
