“The investment from Vista is further validation that the global privacy changes that impacted social advertising platforms’ effectiveness paved the way for zero-party data platforms to become the number one marketing strategy for brands large and small across industries,” stated Tom Coburn, co-founder and CEO of Jebbit. “Jebbit led this industry transformation by recognizing when brands deliver genuine value to consumers they will willingly engage at incredibly high rates and provide in return data that is critical for building lasting relationships.”

The investment in Jebbit was led by Vista’s Endeavor Fund, which provides growth capital and strategic support to market-leading, high-growth enterprise software, data, and technology-enabled companies that have achieved at least $10 million in recurring revenue. Endeavor partnerships focus on growth, market strategy, talent, and customer success – building enduring businesses designed to scale. Founders and management teams benefit from the expertise and support of Vista and its global ecosystem to deliver unparalleled value to their customers, unlock the potential of their employees and accelerate market leadership.

“In a world where privacy and third-party data usage have come under increasing scrutiny, Jebbit is critical for brands and eCommerce players looking to increase growth and stay relevant,” said Rachel Arnold, Co-Head of Vista’s Endeavor Fund and Senior Managing Director. “The Jebbit platform has proven highly effective at driving engagement, lead capture and conversion through its many forms of highly configurable consumer experiences placed at marketers’ fingertips. The perseverance and innovation that Tom, the co-founders and the Jebbit team have invested in the product and client relationships over the past ten years has laid the foundation for many avenues of expansion in the near future, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be their partner for this next chapter.”

Existing Jebbit investors K1 Investment Management and Manifest Growth will remain investors in the Company and continue to be actively involved in the business. Additional financial details of the investment were not disclosed.
