Intelligent Positioning Press Release
Angels Den invests in UK SEO Software provider
One of the world’s largest angel investor networks, Angels Den has invested a significant six-figure sum into the UK SEO technology company Intelligent Positioning.
Marking its first SaaS (software as a service) deal, the Angels Den Tech Club selected the Brighton-based tech provider ahead of 30 other high growth tech businesses.
Intelligent Positioning, which already offers the use of its SEO platform to some of the UK’s leading brands, attracted Angel investment due to its ambitious plans for growth, its mature product offering and the potential of this exciting emerging industry.
The global SEO platform market, though in its adolescence, is estimated by Forrester to be worth $1.6B by 2016.
SEO technology and software is being used by online businesses globally to enhance the presence of their websites in search engines such as Google. Such technologies can offer vast return of investment in natural search as opposed to the pay model of PPC.
The individuals from Angels Den who invested in Intelligent Positioning, bring a wealth of experience of working for highly successful businesses from the likes of Sony, Goldman Sachs, Forrester and Data Monitor.
The Angels Den Tech Club comprises 111 experienced investors who meet monthly in Central London. They have invested in over 100 deals between them.
