Beaconstac, a New York-based QR code customer engagement platform, raised $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Telescope Partners with participation from existing investor Accel.

This new funding will enable Beaconstac to further develop its market-leading platform, build a world-class team, and ultimately enable new and existing customers to adopt QR codes as a means to create personal connections with a wide audience at scale and bridge physical world customer experiences to digital.

"In a world where touchpoints between brand and consumer have grown exponentially, there is a pressing need for frictionless technology that meets consumers on and offline and QR codes are rising to the challenge," said Sharat Potharaju, CEO of Beaconstac. "This funding validates our leadership position in the market and gives us the resources to build additional products on our platform as well as continue helping businesses embrace QR codes for customer engagement."

Beaconstac has helped businesses of all sizes create and track 1.8 million QR codes that were scanned over 150 million times by consumers.

Beaconstac currently employs 75 employees across offices in New York and Bangalore, India with plans to increase its workforce by roughly 200% in 2023.
