Arrowsight, Inc. ( www.arrowsight.com :
), a leading provider of third-party remote video auditing technology and services, today announced that it had secured $6.75 million USD in private placements, led by Oak Street Investments, with several private investors. The financing will support Arrowsight’s continued expansion of its food manufacturing and health care business and strengthen the Company's sales and
marketing efforts.
"We are excited about Oak Street’s decision to continue to invest in our company and see this funding as a tremendous vote of confidence in our industry leadership and growth strategy," stated Adam Aronson, chief executive officer of Arrowsight. "This investment will support Arrowsight’s development of a broader range of services to meet customer needs and drive our sales and marketing efforts.”
Arrowsight, founded in 2002, evolved from its predecessor business, ParentWatch, Inc. In 2007, Arrowsight commercialized its services in the food manufacturing industry, where it is focusing on the beef and pork slaughter market due to its large size ($50B in annual revenues), high market concentration (five companies control 83% of the market), and very low EBITDA margins.
"We are pleased to continue to support the Arrowsight team and are excited about the breakthrough traction Arrowsight has achieved with large companies in 2009. We view Arrowsight as a visionary company and the clear leader in the Remote Video Auditing sector," said Christopher Birck, Managing General Partner, Oak Street Investments. "Arrowsight’s persistence in developing a new marketplace fits with our focus on investing in sector-leading software and tech-enabled business service companies."
