Spatial Networks Announces Additional Funding from CIBC Innovation Banking

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Spatial Networks, the creator of Fulcrum, a leading data collection, workflow automation and analytics platform for field operations, today announced that the company has closed additional funding from CIBC Innovation Banking. The funding closely follows the Company Series A round, led by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. and Kennet Partners Ltd. that was announced in January 2020.

The funding will primarily be used to scale the company’s sales and marketing capabilities, accelerate its product development roadmap, and further expand the Fulcrum platform into international markets.
