VentureApp focuses on professional messaging by turning users' email and LinkedIn contacts into an opt-in chat network for business communication. Users can connect Gmail, Google Apps, Outlook and upload LinkedIn contacts to begin conversations. The product blocks unsolicited outreach from service providers—businesses can have a presence but cannot initiate contact unless the user opts in. The company charges businesses to host hubs that enable potential customers to reach out. VentureApp has a team of 30 and reports 200 paying companies hosting business hubs on the platform. With new funding, the company plans to continue adding features and to ship a mobile messaging app that is currently in beta.
