Raise Acquires New York Gift Card Startup Slide, Plans NYC Office

We are pleased to announce the successful acquisition of our portfolio company Slide by Raise, the gift card marketplace who are frequently talked about as one of the next billion-dollar tech companies. 

Raise Marketplace snapped up a small competitor, leapfrogging ahead on its technology road map. Raise, an online market for buying and selling gift cards, bought New York-based Slide. Terms were not disclosed, except that Raise used stock instead of cash. It preserves some of the $56 million in venture capital that Raise pulled in last summer and underscores why it's one of Chicago's most closely watched tech companies
