Catylist Receives Second Round of Funding from Angel Investors

CHICAGO, December 11, 2008 — Chicago-based Catylist, Inc., a commercial real estate marketing and technology company, recently received additional capital from a group of Angel Investors. The funds will be used to expand their comprehensive line of products and services.

Catylist has been gaining momentum in the commercial real estate space this year, launching advanced system enhancements and adding a new division.  Mid-year, Catylist rolled out the industry’s first scenario- based search interface allowing users to filter results, in real-time, by changing criteria. They’ve also integrated many basic research features, including demographics and market statistics. Most recently, they introduced Catylist Consulting, a new service division providing professionals with custom print and web design and marketing-focused consulting. The service offers everything from company websites with integrated listing search engines to fully custom property-level and corporate marketing campaigns. The initial response has been overwhelming, further demonstrating the company’s ability to serve the unmet needs of the commercial real estate industry.

“This capital will help accelerate our time to market for new products and services and increase our ability to better serve our current and future clients,” said Ron Marten, CCIM, Catylist’s CEO and president.

Catylist has tripled its sales staff within the past 60 days and will be launching several new products in 2009, including a revolutionary notification framework allowing commercial real estate professionals to monitor market activity, and a fully automated print portal where users can create high-quality, brand-consistent print materials 24/7.
