PlumChoice Continues to Blaze the Remote Technical Services Trail with Follow-on Funding

PlumChoice, the nation’s leader in providing remote technical support services to home, home office and small business customers, announced that it has closed out it’s most recent round of capital funding with an additional $2,800,000 from the New Jersey-based Edison Venture Fund, Comerica Bank, and select members of management. This follow-on funding will allow PlumChoice to take advantage of expanding market opportunities to provide its unique and trusted brand of affordable and effective web-based technical support services.

Through its exclusive SAFElink(TM) platform, PlumChoice offers secure, anytime, anywhere service on more than 370 applications, technologies and devices, including setup, training, diagnostics, maintenance and repair. In 2007, PlumChoice served half a million clients in more than 2.5 million transactions. PlumChoice’s friendly and knowledgeable techs are 100% U.S. based and 100% industry certified. The company continues to earn stellar customer satisfaction ratings and has garnered Editor’s Choice Awards from both Laptop and PC Magazine.

“This investment is an important part of our overall growth strategy and will provide the capital we need for the rapid growth of the business,” said PlumChoice founder and CEO Ted Werth. “The market for PC services is becoming more complex. Our approach to delivering these services addresses a significant gap in the market – effective, secure and safe service solutions for the home and small business. This follow-on round will provide us the ability to grow and achieve the aggressive plans we have set for 2008 and beyond.”

In addition to the funding, PlumChoice also announced that Edison Venture partner Michael Balmuth will replace Chris Sugden as Edison’s representative on the PlumChoice board of directors. The move will allow PlumChoice to take advantage of Balmuth’s local presence in Edison’s Boston office.

“Chris has been an outstanding member of the PlumChoice team, and we appreciate his valuable insight and guidance over the past year,” Werth said. “We look forward to working with Michael and having the opportunity to expand our network through his relationships in the Boston area.”

“PlumChoice’s growth over the past year is indicative of the burgeoning demand for the kind of one-on-one, comprehensive service customers want,” Sugden said. “Consumers need a trusted source they can turn to if something goes wrong or they need help to just make their technology work.”

“Technology has permeated so much of our daily lives, from the way we conduct business to how we manage our homes and seek entertainment,” Balmuth said. “For many businesses, and even some households, technology is an absolutely necessity. This proliferation translates into an outstanding growth opportunity for PlumChoice and their solid, secure platform for providing the support services that people need, when they need it.”
