NEW YORK, NY, SinglePlatform, recently named among the nation's most promising startups by Bloomberg Businessweek for its ability to simplify digital communications for local businesses, today announced it raised $3.25 million in venture funding. The investment, led by DFJ Gotham Ventures with participation from new investor New World Ventures and existing investors First Round Capital and RRE Ventures, brings the company's total funding to $4.45 million.

SinglePlatform operates as a one-stop digital portal for local businesses to manage their web presence, integrating their websites, Twitter, Facebook and mobile with a single upload of information. Local businesses are now able to publish their specials, events, menus, photos and more across a publisher network that includes more than 11,000 mobile applications, 34,000 hotels, 620 universities, data providers, and major travel and food specific destination sites.

"We help local businesses get discovered online. Managing digital streams effectively is the equivalent of a full-time job for someone like a restaurant owner, which is why many have not fully utilized new capabilities. We walk them through the process and make it simple, which levels the playing field for independent restaurants and other local businesses," said Wiley Cerilli, SinglePlatform CEO.

"Local businesses represent an enormous potential customer base and restaurants are the most sought after targets in this category," explained Thatcher Bell, a SinglePlatform board member and a principal at DFJ Gotham Ventures. "SinglePlatform has found a way to capture this market with a product that meets the needs of restaurants and other local businesses alike."

This symbiotic relationship drives calls and customers to local businesses, while adding significant value to the publishers.

SinglePlatform's management decided to seek funding to support the launch of a set of new products that respond to growing demand from local businesses and digital publishers, Cerilli said.

"SinglePlatform is filling a key need for both local businesses and digital publishers. With a great team and powerful, easy to use products, we believe that SinglePlatform will become the leading solution for local businesses to manage their web presence," said Jeff Maters from New World Ventures.
