CustomerGlu raises $300k pre-seed with Better Capital, SmartStart and Techstars

If you don't already know us, we are CustomerGlu - a US-based interactive customer engagement platform, that raised a pre-seed round led by Better Capital and participation from angel investors like Ramakant Sharma, founder of Livspace, Sprouts Investments and Aakash Kumar, SVP Growth at Hotstar. CustomerGlu is currently being accelerated by Techstars.
As more businesses go online, the number of apps on a user’s phone is increasing everyday - this makes it increasingly important for businesses to engage with their users and hook them to their digital experiences. It is 5x more expensive to acquire a new user than driving more revenue from an existing one.
Low-code tools like CustomerGlu are growing as they try to give non-technical product and marketing teams the opportunity to build and alter engagement workflows without writing code.  
CustomerGlu enables customers with a plug-n-play library of interactive templates that helps create engaging experiences  - all of them designed to be top-of-the-line game-like experiences and all of them made available via a simple SDK so product managers don’t have to depend on engineers. Scaling experimentation and saving time.

"Every app wants sticky users, businesses are focusing on push driven marketing by sending distracting notifications to their users - which don’t work, most of the users tend to dismiss or stop the notifications entirely. The market is ripe for pulling their users inside these apps with game-like visual hooks, that make these apps fun and rewarding to use - without requiring help from developers with low code platforms like CustomerGlu"
- says Prateek Gupta, CEO and Founder at CustomerGlu
