CA-SIGHTCALL
SightCall , the world’s leading augmented reality (AR)-powered visual assistance platform, today announced the closing of $42 million in Series B funding led by InfraVia Capital Partners, along with co-investor Bpifrance, through its Large Venture fund. The company intends to use the funds to double its research and development efforts and increase its platform’s AI and AR capabilities.
As the world’s largest companies across verticals including insurance, healthcare, consumer goods and industrial have significantly increased the rate and investment in digital transformation, the need for comprehensive solutions that offer the capabilities of remote live-video collaboration combined with augmented reality innovation has transformed the way enterprises provide customer service.
“We created this market, we built and operate our own proprietary platform, and we partner with some of the most innovative companies around the world,” said SightCall CEO and Co-Founder Thomas Cottereau. “This investment is in perfect alignment with our objectives to scale the company and extend our lead in technology to help our customers realize lasting digital transformation within their service organizations.”
SightCall is poised for global growth and selected this particular set of investors to help them achieve the goal of scaling to $100M in annual recurring revenue. With technology integrations set up with some of the world’s leading companies, including Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow, the proprietary technology platform enables remote experts to see a problem through video and deliver guidance using AR and AI technology. By blending the digital and physical worlds into a real-time collaborative environment, SightCall empowers technicians, reduces unnecessary spend and improves the customer experience.
More than 200 of the Fortune 2000 use SightCall, which has seen 100% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue in 2019 and 2020 and is on track to reach that mark again in 2021. SightCall has invested heavily in compliance and cybersecurity initiatives, completing SOC-2 certification and HIPAA compliance certifications along with annual security audits to meet the stringent requirements of global Fortune 2000 companies.
Investor Perspectives on $42M Series B Funding Round
“SightCall pioneered the market for AR-powered visual assistance, and they’re in the best position to drive the digital transformation of remote service,” said Alban Wyniecki, partner at InfraVia Capital Partners. “As a global leader, they can now expand their capabilities, making their interactions more intelligent and also bringing more automation to help humans work at their best.”
“SightCall’s $42M Series B marks the largest funding round yet in this sector, and SightCall emerges as the undisputed leader in capital, R&D resources and partnerships with leading technology companies enabling its solutions to be embedded into complex enterprise IT,” said Antoine Izsak of Bpifrance. “Businesses are looking for solutions like SightCall to enable customer-centricity at a greater scale while augmenting technicians with knowledge and expertise that unlocks efficiencies and drives continuous performance and profit.”
