Title: App Analytics Startup Kontagent Grew 500 Percent Last Year
Post by: techieguy on Mar 06, 2012, 05:00 PM
Kontagent (http://www.kontagent.com), a startup offering analytics for Facebook, mobile, and Web apps, says that its annual revenue grew 500 percent in 2011, to "just under $10 million."

The company's kSuite tools allow developers to track virality, engagement, retention, and revenue. The company signed up 100 new enterprise customers last year, including its first mobile clients (http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/12/kontagent-expands-beyond-facebook-to-offer-analytics-to-web-and-mobile-apps/). The current customer base includes Peak Games, Gaia Online, and Popcap. (In addition to game companies, Kontagent says it has large clients in e-commerce, but it isn't naming them.)

Asked what's coming next, CMO Dan Kimball says the company wants to build a "deeper" product this year, one that offers "the benefits that are typically associated with expensive, home-built [business intelligence] tools" in an inexpensive way.

Kontagent was founded in 2007. Last year, it raised $12 million (http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/10/social-analytics-platform-kontagent-raises-12m-from-battery-ventures-and-others/) from Battery Ventures, Maverick Capital, and Altos Ventures.
