Quarter4 is one of those companies as its product levels the playing field between new entrants and professionals,” said Melissa Durrell. “I believe in the strength of Quarter4’s data and the innovative platform driving its success. As a female investor that is used to a little risk, I’m confident I’m betting on the right team.”
