Vancouver’s QuickMobile – a designer, developer and producer of mobile applications for the meeting and events industry – announced yesterday it has closed a $2.3 million round of funding.
The investment was a combination of debt and equity from angel investors and will support product development and help expand the company’s customer base.
Patrick Payne, CEO of QuickMobile, said “We have seen exponential growth over the last year as meeting planners have moved away from traditional print-based media and adopted our mobile conference app to fully leverage the ubiquity and interactive capabilities of mobile devices.”
Based on the needs of individual customers, QuickMobile develops branded, customized apps for events.
The company counts Accenture, Disney, Google and Microsoft among its global customers and projects a 500% growth in bookings in 2011.
