Bay Partners & JMI Equity Lead Investment as Market Heats Up for Demand Generation Software

Eloqua Corporation, the leading supplier of automated demand generation software and services for business-to-business marketers, today announced that the company has closed $12.8 million in a second round of venture funding led by Bay Partners and JMI Equity. The company will use this round of funding to broaden its sales and marketing reach, both in North America and internationally. This equity financing will also fund the company’s strategy to accelerate growth of its award-winning demand-generation platform, the Eloqua Conversion Suite™ by offering applications and services that simplify the adoption of marketing best practices in areas such as lead generation and management, lead qualification and scoring and events management.

“Bay Partners and JMI recognize that there is an accelerating change underway in the marketing world as businesses transform customer acquisition into a measurable and repeatable process,” said Mark Organ, CEO and co-founder of Eloqua. “Eloqua has been at the forefront of this change and expects to strengthen this leadership position by making it even easier for customers to produce qualified sales leads in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”

“Eloqua has brought accountability to the forefront of business-to-business marketing and transformed the way marketing and sales teams work together to achieve maximum results,” said Neal Dempsey, managing general partner of Bay Partners. “The broad applicability of its unique demand generation offering across industries and the company’s tremendous success and growth over the past year have created a strong base for expansion. We look forward to working with Eloqua as they bring the company and the art and science of demand generation to the next level.”

“We are true believers in Eloqua. Since our original investment a year ago, the company has solidified their leadership position in the marketing automation space,” said Bradford D. Woloson, general partner of JMI Equity. “Eloqua’s strong management team has driven impressive performance in the past year: year-on-year growth of 100%, a rapidly expanding customer base, and new offices and operations to address what we see as a significant market opportunity.”
