Growth and more technological investment

Influency.me’s plan is to keep growing (and fast). This is what Azevedo affirms, “We grew 145% in the last 12 months, and we can do even more.” In order to continue growing, the startup seeks to raise a series A round of capital.

The influencer marketing industry around the globe will surpass 15 billion next year, and there are no signs of slowing down. Brands want their consumers’ attention. And that attention is on digital influencers, which may help explain the current frenzy in the sector. This is why Influency.me has bold plans for growth. “We’re going to invest our own resources and raise capital in the coming months. Our goal is to speed up innovation, marketing and sales even further. All this so that we can continue to grow at a fast pace,” emphasizes Azevedo.
