Marketing firm Social Dental has raised $3.5 million in seed round funding.
Social Dental is the developer of a HIPAA-compliant app for the dental industry. The app allows dentists to take their patients' pictures in a HIPAA-compliant fashion and then use those photos to grow social media channels.
"In today's market, everyone is communicating on social media, specifically through pictures on Facebook and Instagram," stated Tom Clark, the founder of Social Dental, in a press release. "However, HIPAA was a major barrier to many dentists marketing on social media. A HIPAA-compliant photo-sharing app did not exist. So, I built it."
In other company news, Social Dental announced that Scott Henkel has joined the firm as chief operating officer.
The company was founded in 2013 and has been acquiring more than 100 new customers each month.
