OMERS-backed Sysomos buys visual listening platform gazeMetrix
Sysomos Inc, a portfolio company of OMERS Private Equity, has acquired gazeMetrix, an image recognition and visual listening platform based in Mountain View, California. No financial terms were published. Sysomos, which earlier this year acquired Expion LLC, said the deal will allow it to help brands and agencies capitalize on opportunities presented in the visual social web. Launched in 2012 through startup accelerator 500 Startups, gazeMetrix was venture-backed. Sysomos, a Toronto-based social intelligence business, was spun out of OMERS' portfolio company Marketwired Inc in February. OMERS has committed to support its global growth strategy.
