History
In 2003, Ryan Allis and Aaron Houghton met in a entrepreneurship club hosted by UNC where they both attended school. Shortly after meeting they hatched the idea to develop a company that would help small businesses manage their email marketing. They co-founded the business then known as Broadwick Corporation. In 2007, they decided to rebrand the company as iContact. In August 2010, iContact closed on a Series B investment of US$40 million from JMI Equity, adding to previous investments from NC IDEA, Updata Partners, and North Atlantic Capital. Just a couple years later on February 28, 2012, iContact was acquired for US$169 million by Vocus, a public-relations marketing service. On May 30, 2014, Vocus and Cision where both acquired (and merged) by GTCR. During this time iContact was left to operate as a stand-alone company.
