Batman invests $1m in Robin

The fresh funding will be used by Robin to intensify marketing efforts for its application. The company will also develop additional features for its software throughout 2014, as well as continue to improve its software for existing customers.

The investment is described by Robin as a second round of seed funding. In 2012, the company received its first bout of seed funding from Wilco Rietberg, the founder and former CEO of Dutch customer service software provider Trinicom.

According to Robin, Tusveld and Dutch firm Orbys were both also investors in Trinicom, before the company was acquired by Kana Software in 2012.
