Boston Techstars 2011 graduate Senexx has been acquired by global research and analysis giant Gartner. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Senexx, which is based locally at Kendall Square’s One Cambridge Center, bills itself as a “Quora on steroids for the enterprise.” The Israeli startup’s main product, SolvePath, is a cloud-based question and answer platform that boosts cross-team collaboration and helps companies leverage organizational knowledge. By capturing interactions between users, Senexx can then auto-generate a repository of queries and solutions to eliminate duplicate posts, according to AngelList.
Senexx counts Accenture, Google, Microsoft, the United Nations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation among its customers.
Gartner stated in the release that it will use Senexx’s tech to enhance its Web search capability and content recommendation engine. Senexx’s platform will stay live under the vise of its new parent company. Gartner plans to invest heavily in the startup’s team, based out of Tel Aviv. Senexx also has an office in Palo Alto.
“We have a high regard for the intellectual property and business Senexx has built since it was founded in 2011,” said Gene Hall, CEO of Gartner, in a statement. “We will work with Senexx’s talented leadership team to invest in the development of their innovative platform to benefit our clients while minimizing disruption to their business throughout the integration process.”
Senexx was founded in 2011 by Zeevi Michel, and raised $250,000 in seed funding from a number of angel investors, including Tony Chen, Harmonix CTO Eran Egozy, Silicon Valley incubator UpWest Labs Co-founder Shuly Galili and Ingage Consulting President Evan Hackel.
