Visage Mobile has reemerged as a San Francisco software company offering tools to help IT directors manage employees' mobile phones. The pivot followed a recapitalization that allowed the company to buy out past investors who objected to the rebranding, clear debt, and grant employees new equity stakes. It recently secured $2 million in venture backing from Vesbridge Partners and Emergence Capital Partners and is seeking an additional $1 million to reach break-even. In its prior incarnation the company built software for mobile virtual network operators, served clients such as Disney and ESPN, raised upwards of $90 million in venture capital, and reached a $200 million valuation in 2007. Since restructuring it acquired Agistics, an early-stage SaaS company, and sold unrelated business units to Convergys Corp. The company is positioned to focus on corporate phone-management software and pursue profitability under the new capital structure.
