Funding
Stitch is the offspring of a company called RJMetrics, which was a bootstrapped company until it received its first round of funding in 2012. The seed round was $1.2 million and came from Red Swan Ventures, Vision Ventures, SoftTech VC, Zelkova Ventures, Lerer Ventures, and SV Angel. In May 2013, the company received its Series A funding of $6.25 million from Trinity Ventures and SoftTech VC.

In September 2014, RJMetrics received its Series B funding of $16.5 million from SoftTech VC, Trinity Ventures, and August Capital. To date, the Series B funding is one of the biggest rounds of funding received by a Philadelphia-based IT startup.

In August 2016, Magento acquired RJMetrics, and Stitch was spun out as an independent company, with the same investors and funding RJMetrics originally acquired.
