Constructor Raises $55M to Transform Search and Discovery Capabilities for Online Retailers

Record 233% YoY Revenue Growth Finishes with Investment Round led by Silversmith Capital Partners Catapulting the Company’s Next Phase of Growth

Constructor, the leader in eCommerce search and product discovery solutions, today announced a $55M Series A funding round led by Silversmith Capital Partners on the heels of more than tripling its ARR year over year and partnering with leading retailers like Sephora and Backcountry.

The round also includes a lineup of investors who are experts in the space, including: David Fraga, former President of InVision, who will be joining Constructor’s board; Kevin Weil, former Head of Product at Twitter and Instagram; Jason Finger, founder of Seamless; Carl Sparks, former CEO of Travelocity; Robyn Peterson, CTO at CNN; Dave Heath, Founder of Bombas; Ryan Barretto, President at Sprout Social; Melody Hildebrandt, EVP Engineering and CISO at Fox; Zander Rafael, Co-Founder of Better.com; and Seth Shaw, CRO at Airtable. Also participating is the Cap Table Coalition, which expands opportunity for traditionally underrepresented investors.  As part of the investment, Silversmith General Partner Sri Rao will also join Constructor’s Board of Directors. 

Constructor today announced a $55M Series A funding round led by Silversmith Capital Partners

Online retailers have been playing catch-up to Amazon for years, while having to use commodity, one-size-fits-all software not built for ecommerce. As e-commerce continues to grow in importance — in 2020 alone, more than two billion people purchased goods and services online — personalized product discovery and search that’s tailor-made for ecommerce and powered by artificial intelligence has become more and more critical to delivering a competitive customer experience.

“Constructor is the only product discovery platform built from the ground up to learn from the actions of shoppers, without ever collecting personally identifiable information, to improve their discovery experience as they shop,” said Eli Finkelshteyn, CEO and Founder of Constructor. “We’re incredibly proud of the real, measurable wins every one of our retail customers have seen both in revenue and user experience after implementing Constructor, all while doing the right thing on privacy. We’re already delivering the biggest lifts in the industry, but the most exciting part is how much better the discovery experience can get with this new investment.”

“Poor search and discovery has been the industry standard for too long,” said Finkelshteyn. “Retailers are tired of being promised AI they can’t see and personalization that doesn’t live up to its marketing hype, and which isn’t actually useful to customers.”

“Constructor is our trusted product discovery partner for its unmatched results, analytics, and true partnership,” said Venkatesh Ananthanarayanan, VP of Engineering at Backcountry.com. “Building search and discovery in-house today is expensive from the standpoint of both people management and infrastructure hosting. It’s now abundantly clear eCommerce companies like ours get much better user experiences and ROI from using solutions like Constructor compared to reinventing the wheel in-house. Even more importantly, while competitors struggle to solve yesterday’s search problems, leveraging Constructor enables us to build on top of it and create the truly unique, personalized, and differentiated experiences of tomorrow. Best of all, the service is easy to test, so we know for certain that Constructor is returning much more revenue to us than what we pay for the service.”

Google pioneered personalized and contextualized search results and proved how important search is to users, but was never able to deliver the same experience for site search, sunsetting and shutting down their site search solution in 2017 and forcing its customers to switch to other solutions. Within the retail space, Amazon has held the upper hand, popularizing many of the product discovery experiences that customers have come to expect, but that other retailers have struggled to deliver. With Constructor’s new funding, it plans to continue to change that dynamic by doubling down on pioneering new product discovery and search standards and making them available to the entire industry.

Constructor’s AI-powered platform offers a complete set of discovery tools including search, autosuggest, browse, recommendations, and collections. Each tool collects data, learning in real-time from each query and user to optimize for customers hundreds of millions of times every day. Constructor is the only product discovery tool on the market that doesn’t force you to blindly trust the AI. Customers have complete visibility into how Constructor algorithms rank products, all while giving customers full control over what their customers see for any query. 

“Constructor has built a search and discovery platform that is truly making a difference for enterprise retailers. They are providing customers with comprehensive and optimized search and discovery that is unmatched in the market,” said Sri Rao, Constructor Board Member and General Partner of Silversmith Capital Partners. “We are excited to partner with the Constructor team as they continue to revolutionize search and discovery capabilities for retailers across all platforms.”

Media and content businesses can deliver and monetize advanced streaming applications with integrated, best-in-class capabilities

Zype, the leading video API and infrastructure platform, today announced it has acquired MAZ Systems, a leading OTT app publishing platform for connected TV and mobile devices. With MAZ, Zype adds no-code OTT TV and mobile app automation to help enterprise video publishers create streaming experiences for the billions of people who watch streaming video every day. The combination of the companies brings Zype to more than 80 employees on four continents. The company now supports over 900 video apps and playout channels available to over 2 billion people worldwide.

Marketing Technology News:MarTech Interview with Brian Burt, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Canopy Management

“Streaming video content is now essential for enterprises to engage audiences anywhere, anytime and on any device,” said Ed Laczynski, CEO of Zype. “Adding MAZ’s best-in-breed TV and mobile app publishing and automation will help enterprise video publishers design  cross-platform apps from a single configuration. Our research shows that 92%  of organizations underestimate the amount of manual work required to create and manage video products, and we are excited to add these capabilities to better connect the world’s streaming video and viewers.”

With MAZ, Zype now supports automated app publishing across all major mobile, tablet, connected TV, web browsers, and gaming console devices, including iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung Tizen, Vizio, LG, Android TV, and Xbox.

Marketing Technology News:Optimizely Announces Opticon21: Digital Experience Leaders to Convene at Global, Virtual Event

According to MAZ systems CEO, Shikha Arora, “Our philosophy for the acquisition was to extend our capabilities beyond the OTT apps and mobile space, providing a deeper and more robust set of solutions to both MAZ and Zype’s customers, and most importantly to invest in innovation in the video ecosystem with a larger team of engineers, product, and sales experts who share a common set of values and goals.” Arora will join the Zype leadership team and continue leading the MAZ group and help Zype’s innovation strategy going forward.

The acquisition demonstrates Zype’s commitment to an open and connected video ecosystem with its modular approach. Video publishers can leverage the Zype API and MAZ automation along with their choice of online video platform, encoding, CDN, or video player, and integrate with their choice of ad-serving, payment, and data management platforms.

Recently Launched Podcasting Platform Boomcaster Provides Studio-Quality Recordings

Boomcaster Launches Version 2 of its Podcasting Platform
Boomcaster elevates the customer brand through personalization

Boomcaster, a recently launched podcasting and vodcasting platform, provides studio-quality recordings and the ability to livestream to YouTube and Facebook.

Marketing Technology News:MarTech Interview with Cailin Pitcher, VP of Marketing at Paubox

Boomcaster is setting new benchmarks for production quality by recording each participant locally, in real time, and then uploading the files to the Boomcaster cloud. The result is studio-quality audio and video that is unaffected by network glitches or bandwidth issues. By recording locally, Boomcaster doesn’t rely on the quality of each participant’s network connection, which can result in poor-quality audio recording.

Raf Los, who has been using Boomcaster for his “Down The Security Rabbit Hole Podcast,” said, “The best part of Boomcaster is knowing that I will get super-high-quality audio and video as separate tracks, regardless of the network-related issues like out-of-sync audio, grainy video, etc., that can happen during a podcast recording session.”

Boomcaster, which doesn’t require users to download software, creates a separate web recording as a backup so users are guaranteed never to lose an interview. Boomcaster also allows users to schedule podcasts and send invitations.

Users can also customize Boomcaster sessions with their logo and color palette to brand their podcasts and vodcasts.

Marketing Technology News:Brightspot Positioned in Leader Section of the Globe for Content Experience Platforms 2021 by Aragon…

Hari Gopalakrishna, the founder and CEO of Boomcaster, created the service after realizing the quality of his podcasts fluctuated based on the bandwidth and strength of his internet connection. He also needed separate tracks for editing and wanted to livestream while recording; the alternative was to have each participant download and install specialized software on their computers, which, he said, “seemed daunting for us and our guests. This is what set me on a journey to build a super-reliable, but simple podcast recording solution for professionals and novices alike.”

“I have been a podcaster for a long time and have used different software for recording and livestreaming. Boomcaster is hands down one of the simplest and the most user-friendly application I have come across,” said Mitch Robbins, host of “The Med-tech Talent Lab.”

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lorn Davis, VP of Corporate and Product Strategy at Facteus

From 2015 to 2017, Grosse was Issuu’s VP of Engineering, spearheading the company’s product evolution to become a category leader.

Previously, Grosse was a Partner and Vice President of Engineering at BCG Digital Ventures and an active startup advisor and angel investor. Prior to his original tenure at Issuu, he served as Vice President of Engineering at SoundCloud, where he built the engineering team from 20 engineers to 100 in over four locations around the globe.

Martello Launches Vantage DX to Optimize the Microsoft 365 and Teams User Experience

Martello Technologies Group Inc., a leading developer of enterprise digital experience monitoring (“DEM”) solutions, announced the launch of Vantage DX™, a new single platform DEM suite designed to optimize the ‘work from anywhere’ Microsoft 365 and Teams user experience.

Vantage DX provides industry-leading Microsoft 365 and Teams user experience monitoring and analytics capabilities, allowing IT teams to rapidly prioritize and resolve performance issues impacting the user experience, and proactively optimize future performance. It speeds problem resolution with a unique data correlation engine that transforms monitoring data into Microsoft 365 and Teams performance insights. Vantage DX offers leading-edge monitoring and analytics capabilities in a single platform:

Marketing Technology News: Top Five U.S. Bank Accelerates Hardware Order to Fast-Track Deployment of Intellicheck’s In-Branch…

PRIORITIZE

  • Microsoft Teams Call Quality Analytics – Provides immediate insight into Microsoft Teams problems in an organization, going beyond the Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard (CQD) to provide data and alerts on every Microsoft Teams call, no matter where the user is located.
  • Proactive Microsoft 365 User Experience Monitoring– Offers additional performance data for Microsoft Teams and every Microsoft 365 workload, providing alerts for performance issues before users even notice a problem.

RESOLVE

  • Microsoft Active Network Path Analysis – Helps IT teams to determine who owns any latency issues affecting Microsoft 365 and Teams services. Monitor and visualize the entire network path from the users to the Microsoft Global Network.
  • Microsoft 365 and Teams Advanced Troubleshooting – Find the root cause of Microsoft 365 and Teams service disruptions in seconds by correlating Martello Vantage DX insights with an organization’s existing monitoring tools such as SolarWinds, SCOM, Nagios, Splunk and Cisco.

OPTIMIZE

  • Microsoft 365 and Teams Performance Reporting (SLA/OLA) – Design and track performance over time with SLA/OLA reports that highlight root cause for every degradation.
  • Microsoft 365 ITSM Incident Workflows – Empower IT Service Management teams to get full visibility of Microsoft 365 end-to-end service delivery and incidents.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lorn Davis, VP of Corporate and Product Strategy at Facteus

Commenting on Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research commissioned by Martello in August 2021, EMA Research Director Valerie O’Connell said, “It’s no surprise that 82% of IT leaders view Microsoft 365 as mission critical or high importance, or that 21% state an outage has critical impact to the degree that business productivity grinds to a halt. What is almost shocking is that only 10% report having proactive or end-end views of these critical applications. That gap becomes even more pronounced when it comes to performance management of Microsoft Teams. The hybrid workplace has increased reliance on these capabilities for almost all enterprises, with 82% reporting usage at least doubling, if not more. Martello takes direct aim at this management gap.”

“Reliable Microsoft 365 and Teams user experiences have become more important than ever in today’s modern workplace”, said John Proctor, President and CEO of Martello. “However, IT teams and MSPs struggle to understand how well these cloud services are being delivered to users working from a variety of locations. Vantage DX is a leading solution for Microsoft 365 and Teams digital experience monitoring, with a complete set of monitoring and analytics capabilities in a single platform designed with Microsoft expertise, to keep Microsoft 365 users productive no matter where they are located”.

Glassdoor Appoints New Chief Product Officer, Chief Technology Officer And Chief Financial Officer

Fishbowl by Glassdoor to Enable Professionals to Connect & Gain Critical Insights to Advance Their Careers in the New World of Work

Glassdoor, the worldwide leader on insights about jobs and companies, today announced that through its parent company it has completed the acquisition of Fishbowl. Fishbowl is a fast-growing social network used by more than one million professionals1 engaging in candid conversations about anything career, industry and workplace-related. Financial terms are not being disclosed.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lorn Davis, VP of Corporate and Product Strategy at Facteus

With more than 55 million unique users each month2, Glassdoor is on a mission to help people everywhere find a job and company they love by increasing workplace transparency. Glassdoor, founded in 2008, offers millions of ratings, reviews, salary reports and other workplace insights, shared by employees, to help job seekers better understand what it’s really like to work at a company. With Fishbowl’s focus on building meaningful connections and more personal conversations for working professionals, the two platforms are highly complementary and help people get the information they need to make more informed career decisions.

As the world of work continues to evolve, the acquisition of Fishbowl comes at an especially challenging time for workers. A new Glassdoor survey3 of U.S. employees conducted by The Harris Poll reveals that 48% of employees have felt isolated from coworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 42% of employees have felt their career stall due to the lack of in-person connection. In addition, nearly half (45%) of employees expect to work hybrid or full-time remotely going forward. To help meet the changing needs of today’s working professionals, Fishbowl by Glassdoor will deliver even more workplace transparency, empowering professionals to have candid conversations, connect with one another, build communities and gain helpful insights to advance their careers.

“The world of work is dramatically changing and so are workers’ needs. Glassdoor and Fishbowl provide a look inside the ongoing transformation and what’s crystal clear is that workers need more information, more connection and more community, no matter where they’re located. With this acquisition, we’re giving job seekers and employees an unmatched real-time look into the employee experience across companies and industries,” said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve been impressed by Fishbowl’s incredible product, team and growth and are excited to help expand the community even faster. We proudly welcome Fishbowl employees to the Glassdoor family and look forward to the future together.”

“More than ever, professionals are seeking communities to have valuable career conversations and get more information from people beyond those they already know. No one brings transparency to the workplace better than Glassdoor, and with Fishbowl’s platform for real-time professional conversations the opportunity together is incredibly powerful,” said Matt Sunbulli, Fishbowl Chief Executive Officer. “We’re excited to have Glassdoor’s support to power Fishbowl’s growth.”

Launched in 2016 by co-founders Matt Sunbulli and Loren Appin, Fishbowl has more than 18 million conversations, comments and direct messages in thousands of bowls4 where professionals can discuss career, industry and workplace-related topics. Before posting or commenting on Fishbowl, people have the option to choose how to represent themselves – by job title only, by the company they work for, or with their full name, title and company.

New OpenX Publisher Survey Reveals Importance of First Party Data in Publisher’s Future Plans

At Least Four-in-Ten Campaigns Will Run on CTV in the Next Two Years, According to OpenX and ExchangeWire Research

85 percent of publishers feel that 1P data will be significant to future revenue

OpenX revealed the results of the company’s latest survey, examining how publishers are currently viewing and utilizing first party data. The findings highlight the critical role first party (1P) data will play going forward, with 85 percent of publishers saying that 1P data will be important to their future revenue.

However, while the vast majority of publishers say that 1P data will be important to their future plans, they were mixed on their ability to effectively use 1P data today. 66 percent of pubs are currently using 1P data to drive ad revenue, with only 53 percent saying it is important to their ad revenue today. Only 21 percent of publishers say it is “very important” to revenue today, yet more than 50 percent say it will be “very important” going forward.

Marketing Technology News: [24]7.ai Named a Leader in the Everest Group Peak Matrix for Conversational AI Products, 2021

Many publishers expressed a lack of satisfaction with the current options available for activating their data. On a scale of 1 to 10, the average satisfaction score for 1P data activation solutions was 6.5, and only 7 percent of respondents were “very satisfied” with current solutions for activating their 1P data.

“Legacy identifiers, such as third party cookies and IDFA, are still on their way out. Publishers have smartly recognized that first party data will fill a large part of the gap ,” said Tom Levesque, VP Product at OpenX. “But there’s a clear need for ad tech vendors to support this transition with better first party solutions for publishers. ”

Other results from the survey include:

  • Larger publishers are slightly less likely to use 1P data, but more likely to get value from it. Only 63 percent of publishers with more than 500M monthly requests say they are using 1P data today, compared to 71 percent of pubs with less than 500M. However, publishers with over 500M monthly requests are 35 percent more likely to say that 1P significantly impacts their revenue today.
  • Big and small pubs have different challenges with 1P data. When discussing current challenges, larger pubs are concerned with creating segments, controlling data, and finding interested advertisers, at equal levels. For smaller pubs, there was one issue with 1P data that dwarfed everything else — finding interested advertisers. 82 percent of smaller pubs say this is one of their top two challenges, compared to 49 percent of larger pubs.
  • PMPs are the preferred way to execute with 1P data, yet the open auction is also important. PMPs are the dominant way to sell 1P data, with 80 percent of respondents saying they use PMPs, yet 48 percent also said they used open auction to monetize 1P data.

The survey was conducted in July 2021 with 123 respondents across direct publishers, networks and sales houses. 60 percent of respondents had over 500M ad requests a month, and the publishers covered desktop (94 percent of respondents), mobile app (55 percent) and CTV (18 percent).

OTHRStore, an eCommerce platform and support services platform created to help underrepresented brands grow and thrive, announced it has expanded its ecosystem of services and are actively adding additional brands to its platform.

With an initial focus on serving food and beverage brands, OTHRStore exists to combine its talents and resources to mitigate the effects of systemic barriers to business-building for underrepresented brands, while giving consumers a better way to shop for great products from diverse entrepreneurs.

“The system is failing a large group of entrepreneurs who struggle to compete due to inherent systemic barriers. OTHRStore’s mission is to help level the playing field and make it easier for these amazing brands and founders to flourish in the world and not be left out,” said Mark Feinberg, CEO and Founder, OTHRStore. “With shopping behaviors in 2021 largely shaping up as a continuation of 2020 trends so far, CPG and retail categories will continue to drive growth online, and OTHRStore will lean into these trends to support the underrepresented brand community.”

OTHRStore provides resources built to power equitable eCommerce, including capital investment, marketing, strategy, supply chain and sales.

Specifically, unlike large platforms that just put brands on the platform and/or are focused on promoting their own private label offerings, OTHRStore exists to support the growth of underrepresented brands with both a platform and suite of services, including:

●    Integrated Influencer Network (1M+ and growing) enabling brands to quickly reach more buyers
●    On-Demand Resource Network featuring the industry’s best and brightest across marketing, sales, strategy, distribution, design and capital raising support
●    Centralized Fulfillment platform that reduces shipping costs by upwards of 40 percent and helps increase sales
●    State-of-the-art Text to Buy technology, based on the way people want to buy today

To enable the expansion of the platform, OTHRStore has partnered with RangeMe, the leading online product discovery platform helping retailers curate brands. The partnership with RangeMe is enabling OTHRStore to ultimately assist more underrepresented brands and their founders.

“We are absolutely ecstatic to partner with OTHRStore, a retailer with a passion and an aligned mission to give brands a voice and a chance for their products to shine in this industry,” said Nicky Jackson, CEO and Founder of RangeMe. “RangeMe will help OTHRStore accelerate the success of those within the underrepresented brand community.”

OTHRStore stands ready to give diverse entrepreneurs a place to thrive. The company has plans to expand into other categories outside of food and beverage and will include but are not limited to supporting brands in health and beauty, baby, nutraceuticals, pet food and supplies, fashion and accessories, and home goods.

Global Study Reveals Over 90% of Organizations are Missing Key CXM Capabilities to Drive Business Results

Research highlights how companies are approaching customer experience management and the technology challenges they face

86% of respondents would implement a unified customer experience management platform if it was made available to them

Sprinklr, the unified customer experience management (Unified-CXM) platform for modern enterprises, today released the results of its commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting to explore how decision makers are using data insights to deliver better customer experiences.

Marketing Technology News:MarTech Interview with Einat Etzioni, CMO at Namogoo

“As the Forrester study showcases, organizations have a tremendous opportunity to invest in unifying their CXM strategy in order to make their customers happier and ultimately grow their business.”

The study, Boost Customer Experience Success With A Unified Approach, reveals that customer experience (CX) is a priority for 82% of decision makers, yet over 90% said they are missing key capabilities in their current technology stack to support a CX strategy that drives business results. These key capabilities include advanced AI to manage risk and efficiency, better data privacy, and ability to share insights with different customer-facing departments.

Additional key findings after surveying more than 300 global decision makers:

  • Companies don’t have effective customer experience management technology. As a result of missing key capabilities in their tech stack, nearly 50% of respondents said that current tools don’t provide a comprehensive, single view of the customer and nearly 50% said they don’t have a great way of understanding unstructured data (blogs, forums, ratings, reviews, social media mentions).
  • Companies are struggling to deliver great customer experiences. Over 70% of customer experience decision makers said that quickly resolving customer issues across digital channels and acting on competitive insights was very important. Yet less than 30% said that their organizations execute these capabilities well.
  • 86% of respondents would implement a unified customer experience management platform if it was made available to them. Respondents said that a unified CX management platform would yield a competitive advantage and untapped business benefits.

“Organizations understand that insight-driven strategies are the key to successful customer experience management, yet it’s surprising to see how many are challenged with siloed data, inefficient processes, and a disconnected stack of customer experience tools,” said Ragy Thomas, Sprinklr Founder & CEO. “As the Forrester study showcases, organizations have a tremendous opportunity to invest in unifying their CXM strategy in order to make their customers happier and ultimately grow their business.”
