    Relay Network: Ready, Set, Grow!

    Relay Network is poised for significant growth.  An award-winning customer engagement platform that helps their clients grow by connecting with their customers like never before, Relay got off the ground thanks in part to an investment from New Spring Capital.  Relay's Matt Gillin and his team have since taken the idea from concept to reality, and others have noticed; in December of 2019, Relay completed a $30 million growth capital investment from LLR Partners to accelerate innovation of their breakthrough mobile engagement platform.  And the timing could not have been better as the global pandemic was emerging, changing how and where people work and companies engage customers.  On this episode of Growing Greater, we learn from New Spring's Mike DiPiano on what he and his team saw in the novel technology idea being shaped by Matt and his team, and we hear from Matt Gillin about how securing financial support to implement an idea is a game-changing moment on many levels.
