Certica Solutions Joins the SaaS Capital Portfolio

January 13, 2014

NEW YORK, NY  – January 13, 2014 – SaaS Capital, the leading provider of alternative growth financing for SaaS businesses, announced today that it has provided a $2.0 million line-of-credit to Certica Solutions. Based in Wakefield, MA, Certica is the leading provider of K-12 education performance management solutions. Certica will use the SaaS Capital funding to invest in product development and to accelerate the pace of customer acquisition.

Certica’s performance management solutions enable administrators and educators at K-12 schools, districts and educational service agencies to more easily analyze, track, and improve performance through better use of student, school and teacher data. Founded in 2001 as a consulting firm serving the U.S. Department of Education, Certica now counts among its SaaS application users over 600 districts, charter networks, charter schools and private schools, as well as a number of educational service agencies nationwide.

“We’re excited to have joined the SaaS Capital portfolio as we believe there is incredible alignment between our business models relative to the size of our company and the structure of the capital they provide,” comments Mark Rankovic, CEO of Certica Solutions. “We were looking for a modest amount of capital to invest in additional product development and acceleration of customer acquisition, and the SaaS Capital line-of-credit provides the right amount of capital in a non-dilutive form.”

“Certica Solutions is a good fit with SaaS Capital, and we are pleased to have partnered with them,” comments Todd Gardner, CEO of SaaS Capital.“ They have a wonderful foundation of established customers, as well as the products and team to drive sustained growth. With a SaaS Capital MRR-based line-of-credit, Certica will be able to accelerate investments in product development for its existing Certify and TestWiz products, as well as a forthcoming analytics offering that is under development.”
