Lehi— VideoPeel, the automated video testimonial platform for remotely capturing and publishing customer videos, announced a new $1.5 million round of funding. The round is led by Active Capital, a top tier seed firm for B2B SaaS companies outside of Silicon Valley, with other participants including Next Coast Ventures, eonCaptial, and angels from Utah, Texas, California, New York, and Brazil.

“While leading product marketing for Facebook ads management and insights, it was clear to me that consumers were losing trust in advertisements and that businesses didn’t have the kind of content they needed to tell their story more authentically.” says CEO and Cofounder Patrick Tedjamulia, “I left Facebook to fix this. Over the last four months VideoPeel has captured and published video testimonials and reviews for thousands of businesses, and our videos have been viewed over 10 million times.”

“Almost every business in the world wants to better connect with potential customers on web and mobile,” said Pat Matthews, founder and CEO of Active Capital. “VideoPeel makes it incredibly easy for existing customers to help future ones make buying decisions through recorded reviews and testimonials.”
