Headquartered in San Francisco, Wizeline also has offices in Guadalajara and Mexico City, Mexico, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Wizeline builds a product-management platform that helps software companies determine which features are most important and which they should invest in next. The platform’s purpose is to prevent product teams from wasting time and resources on features that users do not care about while prioritizing those that matter. The company secured a new $6.7 million round of funding, according to an SEC filing. The article does not disclose the type(s) of securities, participating investors, or prior financing history.
