This funding now brings the total investment in 6clicks to A$7.7 Million since launching mid-2019.
This new funding will be directed at global expansion, product development and customer success.
Steve Nola, the former CEO of billion-dollar IT services giant NTT Limited Australia has been appointed to the 6clicks board of directors.
6clicks chairman Ian Buddery says, "This has been a remarkable period of achievement for 6clicks, with not only rapid subscriber growth but also an oversubscribed investment round and the appointment of one of Australia's most experienced and highly regarded technology executives to our board."
