The round was co-led by TTV Capital and QED Investors with participation from new investors B Capital, the George Kaiser Family Foundation, and Daher Capital, and existing investors including Mucker Capital, Bonfire Ventures, Moonshots Capital, and BAM Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the launch of its new white-label monetization platform.
Led by Jordan Glazier, Wildfire Systems provides a financial technology platform which enables enterprise partners to embed social commerce, rewards, and cashback offerings within their existing services.
