Kontagent, which straddles Toronto and San Francisco and Toronto, and is co-founded by Toronto native Albert Lai (no relation to Rick Segal), launched today at the Facebook Developers Conference. This is one of a few Canadian announcements coming out of the conference.
The application is an analytics suite focused on social networking platforms, not unlike Refresh Analytics who we profiled several months ago.
Kontagent claims to offer a deeper level of analytical reporting than other available tools and, based on the previews available on their website, they have taken a page from some of the larger analytics suites.
The platform has been under development for almost a year and requires deeper integration in to the application it is monitoring than other suites might. It is also currently free, but is in Alpha testing.
It’s good to see Albert take the shroud off of what he has been working on, he has been pretty quiet since he left Kaboose, inc., after selling his last startup, BubbleShare.
Stealth no more! Congrats on the launch Albert.

Jevon, do you know much about their funding situation? I can’t remember… I thought Albert got VC from one or two firms, but there was nothing in their StartupIndex profile…
