IQBlade, the Liverpool-based data-driven intelligence platform for the technology sector, has received a six-figure follow-on investment from NPIF – Maven Equity Finance.
IQBlade’s all-in-one SaaS platform provides data-driven B2B insights to enable technology companies to identify prospects or other partners of interest based on specific criteria. Its clients include Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Ingram Micro.
The fund is delivered by the Merseyside Special Investment Fund (MSIF) working with Maven Capital Partners in the Liverpool City Region.
IQBlade originally secured an equity investment in 2017 from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.
Since securing the additional funding, IQBlade has appeared alongside a host of Fortune 500 companies in the 2019 Forrester Channel Technology Stack, alongside the likes of IBM, Oracle, Salesforce and SAP.
Antony Young, founder and director of IQBlade, said: “The investment from NPIF has enabled IQBlade to help more clients navigate significant changes throughout the marketplace, thus growing our global presence and recognition. The delivery of the funding, once again, was invaluable. I have truly been supported every step of the way.”
