Inigral provides a subscription-based enrollment management solution called Schools App, built on Facebook, iPhone and Android to help students transition to college and give administrators retention tools and real-time analytics. The platform offers social features for students to make friends, share interests and get involved on campus. A newer Announcements module enables schools to target and communicate with students via Facebook, text message, or iPhone notifications. The solution is used by over 100 colleges, including University of California at Berkeley, Gonzaga University, Western Governors University and the Lone Star College system. The company is based in San Francisco, was founded in 2007, and is led by CEO Jamie Glenn. It intends to use the recent capital to continue to expand operations. Inigral provides schools with the Schools App, an education-focused social media product built on the Facebook Platform that helps students obtain and share information about their academic and social environments. The app enables students to find peers with similar interests, experiences or course loads and to organize face-to-face meetings. The company was launched in 2007 and is led by co-founder and CEO Michael Staton. Inigral intends to use recent funding to further develop and market the Schools App. The company raised new capital in a Series B equity financing, reflecting outside investor interest in its Facebook-based school engagement product.
