DAVIS, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2017 -- Engage3, a leading competitive intelligence and consumer engagement company, today announced its $12-million round of Series B financing. The round is led by Kayne NewRoad Ventures Fund II, LP (KNRVII) with participation from Pereg Ventures, Moneta Ventures, and Dale Carlsen, the Founder of The Sleep Train Mattress Center (now Mattress Firm).

The funding will enable Engage3 to grow the team, expand upon its omni-channel retail pricing platform, and accelerate the deployment of the company’s B2B personalization solution.

“Simply put, Engage3’s platform to gather competitive pricing intelligence enables retailers to deliver thoughtful pricing,” said Doug Degn, Partner with KNRVII. “Thoughtful pricing – the idea of finding balance between delivering the value that customers expect every day and achieving desired levels of profitability. This is no easy task in today’s ultra-competitive marketplace.”

“Engage3 is a great example of the type of founder-led businesses with domain expertise, that we like to invest in,” said Itzhak Fisher, Managing Partner of Pereg Ventures. "The competitive and promotional pricing intelligence platform that Ken and the team have developed over the last few years presented a great investment opportunity for us, and we're excited to support the company in their next chapter of growth.”

Engage3 has achieved 200% year-over-year growth and services over 25 tier-1 major retailers across North America and the U.K. Engage3 provides Data-as-a-Service, Analytics-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service offerings that cumulatively add between 35-150 basis points to their customers’ pricing programs.

“We’ve entered a new phase in the evolution of retail,” said Ken Ouimet, Founder and CEO of Engage3, “and our continued traction in the market is a testament to the differentiating value we’re creating for our customers as we work with them to compete more profitably. We are incredibly humbled and energized to be joined by our new investors on our journey to transform retail pricing.”

Previous Engage3 investors include The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) and Swift Communications.
