Jive Software Receives $15 Million from Sequoia Capital
August 31st, 2007 No comments
Jive Software, a developer of award-winning collaboration software, recently announced it has received $15 million in funding from Sequoia Capital. Jive Software, which has been profitable since its 2001 inception, will use the funds for product development and to broaden sales and marketing efforts for its flagship products, Clearspace and Clearspace X.
The collaboration market is on the verge of exploding and, according to industry analysts, is set to reach the $9 billion mark by 2009, said Jim Goetz, Partner in Sequoia Capital. Given this, our investment in Jive Software was an easy decision as they are the company positioned to lead based on the success of Clearspace, its marquee client list and its experienced management team.
Driven by the rising demand for integrated behind-the-firewall enterprise collaboration software, Jive Software saw a 95 percent increase in quarter-over-quarter sales in the second quarter of 2007. Current Clearspace customers, many of which are Fortune 500 companies, include Nokia, Deloitte & Touche, Delta Airlines and Turner Networks.
Jive Software is focused on becoming the leader in the enterprise collaboration space, and will achieve this by continuing to develop market-driven products that bring value to enterprises, said Dave Hersh, Jive Softwares CEO. Working with Sequoia Capital gives us the resources to further innovate and address the substantial demand for user-friendly collaboration software that transforms productivity through the use of community tools like blogs, wiki documents, and discussions.
Clearspace is the first enterprise-class collaboration application to combine the latest content creation tools with community-driven intelligence. By presenting Web 2.0 communication tools in an intuitive and unified way, Clearspace motivates internal teams to post and read blogs, work together on wiki documents and engage in forum discussions. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are encouraged through the use of a ratings system, user rewards, tagging, workflow and RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds. Clearspace X is a version of Clearspace designed for collaboration with external audiences, such as customers, partners and suppliers.
Jive Software develops award-winning collaboration software that is changing the way people work. Jive Software’s products, including Clearspace and Clearspace X, facilitate open collaboration among employees, partners and customers by blending Enterprise 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, forums, chat, tagging, files and reputation systems into a single interface. Portland-based Jive Software counts more than 2,000 customers worldwide.
