“We are thrilled to be partnering with the world-class management team at Alida to support the company on its path to becoming a global leader in the CXM industry,” said Mr. Samant. “We believe that Alida’s proprietary technology, its multi-tenant cloud-based platform and the quality of insights it offers customers are true differentiators which position the company very well to build on its already strong market position. Round13 is backing an exceptional management team and joining an existing group of high-quality investors to support Alida as the company executes on the truly massive CXM market opportunity.”

“Alida is so fortunate to benefit from Round13’s differentiated strategic approach and decades of experience working with later stage growth companies,” said Ross Wainwright, CEO of Alida. This investment further cements our ongoing global expansion plans and our continued innovation strategy to deliver holistic software that transforms experiences for our customers. In addition to continuing to accelerate our innovation agenda to drive growth, we are excited to also leverage this investment for future strategic M&A activity. There is an exciting future ahead for both Alida and organizations looking to revolutionize the way they elevate the total experience for their customers and employees.”

In September 2020, Alida rebranded from Vision Critical as it broadened its focus beyond its market-leading insight community software with the mission to become a global leader in the CXM market. Since that time, leading industry analysts have recognized the company as a key player in the CXM and Voice of Customer (VoC) markets. Alida was positioned as a Niche Player by Gartner® in the 2020 Magic Quadrant™ for Voice of the Customer. Alida was also recently named a Contender in “The Forrester Wave™: Customer Feedback Management Platforms, Q2 2021” report. The company has also ranked on Fast Company’s 2021 list of the 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators.

“The Board is delighted to welcome Sanjiv,” said Philip C. Deck, Chairman of the Board. “Sanjiv’s invaluable market perspective and global expertise in SaaS investing and growing major technology firms will add immense value. I am confident that Round13’s equity investment will allow Alida to continue to accelerate its growth and build on its long-standing reputation of delivering world-class customer experience solutions.”
