Leanplum Raises $29M, Expands Mobile Engagement Channels

1 - Leanplum Logo BlackMobile marketing platform provider Leanplum has closed a $29 million round of Series C funding. The round was led by Canaan Partners, with participation from existing investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) and Shasta Ventures.

By 2020, we will see six billion smartphones, shifting the paradigm to mobile being the primary computer for people worldwide.”

Leanplum’s mobile marketing platform has attracted more than 100 brands including Lyft, Macy’s and Tinder. The platform tracks user actions on one billion devices and manages more than four billion mobile events per day.
