OpiaTalk, a Baltimore, MD-based provider of a widget for enterprise retailers, closed a $500K angel round.
Backers included TCP Venture Capital’s Propel Baltimore Fund. The company’s next goal is a $1.5M seed raise.
Led by CEO Tom Popomaronis, OpiaTalk provides retailers with a widget to release ‘disappearing promos’. The solution integrates onto a retailer’s site, releasing time-sensitive promos once a certain number of people join the live-chat widget. Users can invite Facebook friends to speed up the process, which also drives new, engaged traffic. Once released, customers have just 15 minutes to buy. All promotions are managed and optimized by OpiaTalk’s client management team, who works in tandem with the retailer’s eCommerce/marketing team.
Current clients include Skype/Microsoft, Rosetta Stone and blu eCigs.
