Missoula, Montana’s Submittable Raises $1.3 Million to Improve Online Submissions

Wanted to share the 1 year anniversary story from the Wall Street Journal of a great Montana success story.

Submittable has spent the last year just getting better and better thanks to it’s amazing staff and investors.

In a rare venture capital deal for Montana, Missoula-based Submittable Holdings Inc. http://submittable.com/ raised $1.34 million in Series A venture funding for an app that makes it easy for media companies, publishers, schools and grant-giving organizations to accept and review submissions online.

To date, Submittable’s app has allowed organizations of any kind to accept, manage and review different types of content online, from resumes to creative visual or audio files. Submittable handles raw video and 100 different file types.

"We started with manuscripts and other things that were going to publishers in manila envelopes, or as large email attachments," said Submittable co-founder and Chief Executive Michael FitzGerald,. "But this now works for film festivals and schools, HR departments, or you name it. It’s not super sexy, perhaps, but we see use cases everywhere, and we’re all over the place."
