Inigral, a San Francisco, CA-based maker of an app for schools on Facebook, has raised $3.25m in funding.
Backers include Retro Venture Partners and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The company intends to use the capital to continue to expand operations.
Founded in 2007 and led by Jamie Glenn, CEO, Inigral provides a subscription-based enrollment management solution. Built on the Facebook, iPhone and Android platforms, Schools App aims to make the transition to college much easier by providing students with a trusted environment to make friends, share interests and get involved on campus and university administrators with retention tools and real-time data and analytics. A new module (called Announcements) provides schools with the ability to target and communicate with students on a variety of channels, such as Facebook, text message or iPhone notifications.
