New Funding, New Features, New Pricing!

The last few months have been an incredible time for Confer. Even in the midst of a continued economic crisis, we’ve been blessed with a myriad of new opportunities, relationships, and developments. We’ve matured our flagship product offering, trimmed fat from our operational costs, and begun development of our second product line.

Funding: We’re proud to announce that we’ve recently closed a considerable new round of seed funding from local North-East Ohio investors. This new capital will allow us to expand our team and provide even more power and flexibility in our flagship and other products.

Pricing: As part of our efforts, we’ve made significant changes to Confer’s pricing. Confer is now free for organizations with less than 20 users. Larger companies can benefit from reduced $3/$5 pricing plans, and enterprises can now install a Confer server in their hosting center to maximize security and scale.

Features: We’ve continued to maximize the scalability of the Confer product, allowing for organizations of 10,000+ users to very quickly create an alternate intranet for their business. Chat now includes activity indicators and last active info to provide insight into who is available, and who has been working when.

New Endeavor: We’ve also been working on our next product, 60mo (http://60mo.com), a powerful new approach to cash-flow, HR, and Finance management for small businesses and start-ups. We’ve received an incredible amount of feedback so far, and are looking forward to our projected beta launch in August of this year. As they say, hope isn’t a strategy, and the more accurate your plans, the better. Take our quick survey and help us shape the direction of our product here: http://bit.ly/a2m0rl
