This investment increases Ziflow’s total equity funding to $27 million.“We are thrilled to support Ziflow as the company continues expansion in the United States and around the world,” said Jonathan Drillings, partner at RAC. “This is a product that is built to deliver real value for its users, and which should continue to evolve to empower better marketing creative through smoother operational processes."
As companies of all sizes face increased pressure to do more with less, Ziflow’s ability to help reduce time and friction in the creative process, while helping to improve creative outcomes for brands and agencies alike, is compelling.
”RAC joins Companyon Ventures in this Series A round, who had previously invested in Ziflow during their initial funding round in 2020. “We couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership with the team at Ziflow,” said Firas Raouf, co-founder and general partner at Companyon. “With a passionate customer base that’s increasingly vocal about their favorite creative workflow solution—and a management team with a proven track record—we felt that increasing our investment in Ziflow was an easy choice.”
“This Series A funding round led by two fantastic partners in RAC and Companyon gives us the mandate to continue on the path we’ve laid out, helping teams solve their core challenges around feedback, review, and approval,” said Anthony Welgemoed, co-founder and CEO of Ziflow. “This investment will allow us to continue delivering an unparalleled experience for our customers and help marketing and creative teams around the world save time and money while improving the quality of their work."
In addition to expanding their global sales and marketing efforts, Ziflow intends to invest heavily in product development, doubling-down on a roadmap that will add additional automation to a team’s creative workflow.
“AI is changing the world around us, and we’ve been hard at work on developing ways to leverage new technologies which will allow for faster, more accurate, and more automated feedback on assets,” continued Welgemoed. “Image and text recognition, quality control, sentiment analysis, predictive approval, automated and personalized feedback are all areas where we’ll look to innovate in 2023."
