Stealth Startup Founded By Autopilot CMO Raises $8 Million, SEC Filings Show

Funding Rounds

▤ Summary

Stealth customer retention startup Brightback, co-founded by Autopilot CMO Guy Marion, has raised over $8M in a new round of funding, according to SEC filings. According to the filing, the company raised $8.45 million in cash and the proceeds from converting an unspecified number of SAFE securities. According to the filing, here’s who’s on the company’s board: Marion was an entrepreneur in residence at Matrix Partners for six months prior to starting Brightback, meaning that the firm likely invested in the young startup. It’s unclear whether the transaction filed today includes the funding glancingly referenced in the company’s post from earlier in the summer. Other individual investors in the company include Scott Irwin, General Partner at Rembrandt Ventures, Clint Smith, Vice President at data management platform DataStax, Nick Soman, the former growth lead at Gusto, and Geoff Donaker, the former COO at Yelp.
