Hybrid and virtual event enterprise software Zuddl had raised $13.35 million in a Series A round, the company announced Thursday.
The round was led by Alpha Wave Incubation, with participation from Qualcomm Ventures, GrowX Ventures and Waveform Ventures.
Since its founding in May 2020, Zuddl has launched features and improvements to enable organizations to build virtual replicas of their physical office spaces, favorite venues and themed event spaces.
With the funding, Zuddl intends to develop one platform for all enterprise events, internal or external, hybrid or virtual, according to the company. It will also invest in data and integrations to enable data-driven, post-event decisions, and revamp the organizer event setup experience to be simpler and more intuitive. The San Francisco-based company also plans to open a new office in Abu Dhabi this month.
Zuddl’s move into primetime is the latest indicator of red-hot interest in meeting technology. Meetingstech companies Aventri and MeetingPlay announced Thursday that they planned to merge, while Cvent went public through a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company.
