Brickstream Corporation is pleased to announce that it has raised $4 million in growth funding from Eastward Capital. The capital will be used to scale growth globally, which includes expanding the supply chain, research and development investments, and sales and marketing resources.

Brickstream is a leading provider of real-time customer behavior analytics and in-store monitoring technology. The company has experienced five consecutive years of rapid organic growth, and revenues rose over 100% in the first half of 2012 alone. "This capital injection ensures that Brickstream can continue to invest in aggressive growth for the foreseeable future" said Steve Jeffery, CEO, Brickstream.

Since October 2011, Brickstream's employee count has more than doubled; it has opened offices in Germany and Singapore, and continues to expand its global partner network.

"We had aggressive bids from 7 different firms who were interested in funding Brickstream, and Eastward was, both qualitatively and quantitatively, our unanimous choice for lender," said Paul Williams, CFO, Brickstream. "Their willingness to work with us not only helps enable our vision for growth, but is a vote of confidence in our ability to achieve it."

"Brickstream's recent financial results, combined with their strategy for the near and distant future, made us eager to play a role in their continued growth," explained Tim O'Loughlin, Director of Eastward Capital, who was instrumental in helping Brickstream secure the funding.
