Missoula, Montana-based submission management startup Submittable raises $5M

The Series A comes from True Ventures https://trueventures.com/ , and it represents the firm’s first investment in Montana.

Submittable https://www.submittable.com/ , a startup used by more than 9,000 companies to manage submissions, has raised $5 million in Series A funding.

Missoula, Montana-based Submittable was founded in 2010 with an initial focus on literary magazines that wanted help keeping track of manuscript submissions. As co-founder and CEO Michael FitzGerald put it, "We started with the poorest customers you could possibly imagine — poetry magazines."

Since then, the startup has expanded to work with a variety of organizations on managing digital content, including resumes, applications and contest entries, with customers including TEDx, The New Yorker and Stanford University.
