Alven et al. inject €750,000 in AntVoice

Other investors included corporations Avanquest Software and JE2C, as well as business angels Michel Gotlib and Alexa Funès. The fundraising effort did not involve any external advisers, with AntVoice CEO Alban Peltier having prior experience of working with some of the investors in this round.

Alven stated that AntVoice fits its investment strategy well, with an experienced management team, a healthy business model and an innovative service offering. It was also attracted by current growth prospects for the social media applications market.

The fresh capital will allow AntVoice to launch a new dating Facebook application, hire up to 15 additional members of staff, and finalise the acquisition of Looneo – a French social media CRM specialist.

AntVoice will look to organise another funding round by the end of the year.
