Following Merl's UX improvements, Flare was able to secure 3M dollars in seed funding from
Floodgate, Bessemer, and
Goodwater following our success in rapidly growing the user base from 2022 to 2023.
During Merl's tenure daily active users scaled from 20K to 150K. To this day,
Flare is used by over 350K people monthly in over 3,000 student groups, clubs, fraternities, and sororities at over 300 colleges all over the United States.
