ChurnZero announced today that it raised a $2.5 million round of financing lead by Grotech Ventures.

ChurnZero helps subscription businesses fight customer churn. The ChurnZero real-time Customer Success platform helps businesses understand how their customers use their product, assesses their health and likelihood to renew, and gives the business the means to automate and personalize the customer experience through timely and relevant touchpoints, including in-app content. 

“With business models moving to subscriptions, companies need to work every day to make sure their customers are engaged, happy, successful and, consequently, renewed,” says You Mon Tsang, co-founder and CEO of ChurnZero. “We started ChurnZero because we saw way too many businesses that manage their customers without deep data or insight on the health and management level of their customers. That is simply not acceptable anymore.”

Steve Fredrick, Grotech General Partner, says “we invested in ChurnZero because we think they have a great team executing well in a nascent but growing market. But we also personally see the scourge of churn in our portfolio companies; we talk about retention and Customer Success in every single board meeting we attend. We think ChurnZero has created the answer to better retention.”

ChurnZero customers include fast-growing subscription companies like Atlanta-based Terminus. “ChurnZero has become the hub of our Customer Success team; it pulls together everything we need to support our customers,” says Sydney Smith, Director of Customer Success. “ChurnZero has a great platform and amazing service. Our customers are more engaged and the team’s retention rates are both better and more predictable.”
