SURKUS becomes Global Trust Group's newest Portfolio Company

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- SURKUS (www.surkus.com) has closed a funding round led by Global Trust Group's (GlobalTrustGroup.com) Global Technology Fund and its Global AIF II partner and advisor fund. The funding will provide working capital as SURKUS advances its market leadership and execution in expanding their already strong product pipeline in several major markets including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Miami. The company plans to raise another expansion round of financing in early 2016.

SURKUS founders Forest Zukerman and Robert Menendez note that they are changing the way businesses reach their customers. They are rapidly becoming the Uber for event promotion and curation – disintermediating professional promoters (club promoters, casting agencies, marketing firms, etc.) by connecting businesses directly with their target audience / clients.  Co-investment firm HashtagOne notes that “No one else in the industry has pursued this problem with a platform solution like Surkus’, so the company should have a compelling first mover advantage in generating growth and gaining market share.”

SURKUS is an intelligent hybrid of a technology marketing platform into a brick and mortar crowd sourcing need, changing the way people experience the world and the way businesses reach their audience. _SURKUS is a mobile platform that provides local events and venues with a new way to cast their perfect crowd and allows suitably targeted users to experience amazing events and opportunities.

Robert M. Sigler, President of Global Trust Group, stated "Our Global Technology Fund along with the advisory support of Global Trust Group AIB (Alternative Investment Board) invests as a venture management partner to assist experienced founders and operators with key market-disrupting technologies like SURKUS to expand and maximize large global market opportunities.  We view SURKUS as the leading innovator in its respective space and currently see no limits on its value proposition.”
