Involver

Involver has been acquired by a public company.
PrivCo has ceased its coverage of Involver and below is the archived report.

Business Summary

Involver is a privately-held, venture capital backed social media marketing company. Involver sells a product it has dubbed SML (social markup language) to companies and brands looking to develop a social media application to reach consumers. Because the product it sells is a coding language, Involver's product is more suited to front-end developers and coders than marketing/social media managers who lack experience in coding. The privately-held digital media marketing company has worked with over 840,000 brands, including large clients like Comedy Central, Alicia Keys, and Facebook. Involver was founded in 2007 by Roland Horton, Rahim Fazal, and Noah Smart and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
