GREMLN Chosen by SixThirty for Spring Investment Round
St. Louis, MO. (PRWEB) April 29, 2014 -- Software company, Gremln, best known for their secure social media marketing suite for regulated industries, has been chosen to participate in one of the nation’s leading business accelerators for financial services, St. Louis-based, SixThirty (http://www.SixThirty.co). SixThirty, whose founders include Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of the payments company, Square, will invest in Gremln and work closely with their business development team to assist in accelerating their growth and product adoption among the increasing number of financial services firms that are participating in social media. SixThirty provides financial technology firms with funding, mentors, and introductions to the top financial services companies in the country.
"Gremln is excited to be chosen to participate in SixThirty program. We look forward to networking with financial industry leaders and learning from the experiences of the world-class mentors," said Ryan Bell.
Gremln’s social media compliance and marketing suite allows banks and other financial companies to participate in marketing and customer engagement via social media, by mitigating the risks and supporting adherence to strict compliance regulations set forth by entities such as FINRA, FFIEC, and the SEC.
“Social media involvement for the financial services industry is essential, but it is a dangerous place to be without the right software. Introductions by SixThirty to key financial firms will give us the opportunity to mitigate that risk for a broader portfolio of companies,” said Mr. Bell.
SixThirty selects only four financial-based technology startup companies for each class. Those companies selected to take part in the four-month accelerator program will receive hands-on training, mentoring, and networking opportunities with the top financial services companies in the region.
“St. Louis is one of the largest financial services hubs outside of New York,” said Jim McKelvey. “It’s home to Edward Jones, Scottrade, Stifel Nicolaus, and US Bankcorp CDC, Wells Fargo Advisors, and boasts one of the most dynamic, explosive startup communities in the country.”
