Cambridge-based Promoboxx has just closed their $565k seed funding round from a few angels and venture funds. The investors include Dave Balter, Peter Bordes, Howard Brodsky, Michael Dornbrook, Mike Zelnick, David Kaufman, Artemis Joukowsky, Steve Resner, Michael Mark, Walt Winshal, Mike Perlmutter, Evan Hackel, Adam Berrey, Jean Hammond, and seed funds including SK Ventures, Brand Ventures, and Launch Capital. Their seed round was hinted at on a guest post – From TechStars to Funded – on BostInno by CEO Ben Carcio.

“Tech Stars and AngelList helped to amplify the traction we were getting with our customers. Once we hit that critical mass of customer traction, the commitments started to happen. We’re very excited to have such a smart and resourceful army of smart people behind us,” said Carcio in an email.

Promoboxx is a promotion platform that acts as an online marketing bridge between brands and retailers. As companies like Nike and Coke (neither are currently clients) look to increase the sales traffic, they can do so through consumer incentives such as coupons or sweepstakes in an easy and simplified way. Brands can set promotions and filter them down through retailers, who then can send out customized messaging through social media channels to the relevant customer base.

Leveraging Promoboxx’s platform, brands can launch social promotions that are fully customizable.  Through various integrated social tools, each promotion can be shared with friends while the brand itself sits back and analyzes leads, conversion rates, and views per promotion.

The company so far has landed clients like Wolverine Worldwide, Mattingly Sports, Flooring America, CAT Footwear, and PrimeSport.
