Bellevue-based Visible Technologies, which provides a social media monitoring service for businesses, announced this week that it has raised an additional $6 million in financing. The company said previous investors re-upped, including Investor Growth Capital, Joe Grano, Ignition Partners, In-Q-Tel, and WPP. Chief Executive Kelly Pennock says the money will help Visible ramp up the Visible Intelligence product it rolled out last fall. The company has offices in Seattle, London and New York, and touts relationships with companies including Microsoft, Xerox, and Boost Mobile. Pennock recently blogged about Salesforce.com’s acquisition of competitor Radian6, calling it “an extremely exciting event for everyone in this space.”
