Hyperlocal platform ChatOnGo, for vendors has raised $300K funding from Janak Jain and an undisclosed HNI.
ChatOnGo helps vendors to showcase their products, offers, deals, locations etc. to buyers.
With this funding, the company is planning to expand the team, to enhance the product, and also utilise it for sales and marketing.
Talking about the investment, Sagar Nagda, co-founder ChatOnGo said, “Initially we launched it as a hyperlocal platform but had little success, we completely evolved our product & business model in the last quarter and now we are a 100% B2B startup. We are seeing good traction as we are solving real problems of businesses.”
Nimap Infotech has been in IT services since 7 years and has made more than 150 apps. Their founders Sagar Nagda and Priyank Ranka started a new company to launch a product called ChatOnGo.
