Plannuh, which helps businesses prove and improve the value of their marketing by consolidating all marketing plans, budgets, and metrics into a single cloud-based system for full visibility and collaboration, has increased its annual recurring revenue more than six times in the last 12 months and added more than 50 customers. The company also added several key capabilities to the Plannuh application, including a sophisticated new metrics tracking system and enhanced ROI measurement, new integrations with HubSpot and Salesforce, and a major AI-driven expense ingestion technology release to automate expense capture and reconcile with financial systems. Plannuh will use the funds to accelerate the development of automated planning and budgeting workflows, including incremental integrations and AI-based forecasting and recommendations.

“We have seen a huge wave of interest in our platform from leading marketers who value our agile approach to planning and executing their marketing agenda as a strategic advantage,” said Peter Mahoney, founder and CEO of Plannuh. “The investment from Ripple Ventures, and our long-time investors Glasswing and Gradient will allow us to further accelerate customer acquisition and continue to enhance our product platform, with particular focus on additional integrations and automation.”

“It is well known that finance and marketing teams often do not see eye to eye,” said Matt Cohen, Managing Partner, Ripple Ventures. “This largely stems from the fact that finance teams are numbers-driven, and historically marketing teams have struggled to demonstrate the value that advertising campaigns have on revenue. Another major issue for marketing teams is that most of their planning, budgeting, and expense tracking is done manually, either on paper or in Excel. Plannuh is on a mission to solve these inefficiencies and help quantify the effectiveness of marketing spend, thus reducing the friction between marketing and finance departments, and helping marketing teams get better results. This is what makes us so excited to lead this investment round in Plannuh alongside an amazing group of investors.”
