vCita, a leading cloud-based, business management solution for small businesses, has completed a $15 million funding round led by Forestay Capital.

Founded in 2010 by Itzik Levy, a serial entrepreneur who also co-founded Kidaro (acquired by Microsoft), vCita enables small business owners to manage their client interactions with ease from a single, integrated, on-the-go app.

vCita has over 100,000 paying users worldwide, who use its centralized dashboard to manage their schedule, issue invoices and quotes, track and collect payments, and manage client data.

vCita allows its users to improve engagement with their clients through promotional offers and coupons, automated email campaigns, and a 24/7 online client portal.

In recent years, the company has expanded its reach through strategic partnerships with leading technology and service providers, which use vCita’s platform to extend and deliver their core offerings to SMBs. To match its growing user base, vCita has expanded and now has close to 100 employees in Seattle and Tel-Aviv.

The newly raised capital will be used to support vCita’s growth in the global market, form additional strategic partnerships and accelerate product development. Itzik Levy, CEO and co-founder, commented on the funding:

“Our vision is to change the way small businesses manage and engage with their clients. Our solution empowers business owners to manage their scheduling, payments and marketing with confidence and ease. It enables them to provide great service to their clients. Thanks to Forestay’s investment we’ll be able to grow vCita into the leading go-to solution for every small, service-based business.”
