In December 2009, Janrain raised US$3.25 million from American venture capital firms DFJ Frontier, RPM Ventures, and Anthem Venture Partners.

In February 2013, the [[Austin, Texas]]-based company Umbel announced its partnership with Janrain to combine the former company's "real-time audience insights" technology with the latter's "User Management Platform, providing actionable intelligence from rich social data, in real-time".<ref>{{cite web|title=Umbel Partners with Janrain to Provide Secure, Actionable Social Alalytics|url=https://www.umbel.com/resources/press-release/umbel-partners-with-janrain-provides-actionable-social-analytics/|publisher=Umbel|access-date=November 17, 2015|date=February 19, 2013}}</ref> In December 2014, Janrain acquired the startup company Arktan for an undisclosed amount. Janrain began offering data services developed by both companies, which had worked together for "several years" before the acquisition.<ref name=Kaye/> According to ''[[Advertising Age]]'', Janrain had grown to 160 employees; Drebes said there would be no executive changes for Arktan's five employees.<ref name=Kaye/> ''[[Inc.

In September 2015, ''Portland Business Journal'' said Janrain employed "around 120, most of them in Portland", and had raised $52.8 million to date from investors.<ref name=Spencer/> In December 2015, the company secured an additional $27 million in their Series D funding, led by HighBar Partners.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Janrain Closes $27 Million in Series D Funding Led by HighBar Partners to Augment Customer Identity Management With Rich Analytic Insights|url=http://finance.yahoo.com/news/janrain-closes-27-million-series-140000592.html|access-date=2020-12-17|website=finance.yahoo.com|date=16 December 2015 |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Technology==
RPX, a [[software as a service]] (SaaS) platform for on-site OpenID account acceptance, has been described as Janrain's "flagship" product. More than 170,000 websites were using the solution by December 2009.<ref name=Wauters/> According to VentureBeat, "Janrain Engage" enables social sharing, "Janrain Capture" gathers and stores profile data, and allows the sharing of profiles across websites; and "Janrain Federate" enables [[single sign-on]] for websites.<ref name=Kelly/> In 2012, the company launched a "one-click sharing mechanism" for [[Facebook]], giving users greater control over their sharing behaviors.<ref name=Rao/> Janrain's services were used by more than 350,000 websites by January 2013.<ref name=Forbes/><ref name=Rao/> TechCrunch said data collected by the company's technology from user log-ins helped clients "provide better on-site or in-app experiences for their users", and that "These experiences could include personalized offers or promotions based on user's social demographics data. Janrain User Management Platform (JUMP) provides a single, unified view of users across multiple online properties and social identities, and includes products for social login, profile data storage, registration, and single sign-on."<ref name=Rao/>
Janrain's "social login" technology enables websites to offer registration with profiles from Facebook, [[Google]],<ref name=Forbes/> [[LinkedIn]], [[Twitter]], and other social media sites. It uses profile data, such as a user's age, gender, interests, and location, allowing marketers to target advertising messages.<ref name=Rogoway/><ref name=Kaye/> According to ''[[The Oregonian]]''{{'s}} Mike Rogoway, Janrain "encourages its clients to minimize what they ask online visitors to share, at least initially, and to build trust". Janrain hired technology attorney Lewis Barr to serve as vice president for "legal and privacy matters", and to inform clients about the appropriate and legal collection of digital information.<ref name=Rogoway/>
In June 2014, the company launched "Janrain User-Generated Content" ("Janrain UGC"); according to ''[[Adweek]]'', the service "allows brands to give their fans the ability to interact, comment on, and chat about content on their sites ... [and] allowing them to easily discover friends’ activities on those sites" and "better create personalized brand experiences".<ref name=Cohen/> Features include comments, activity streams, live chat, social post curation, and redesigned social sharing.<ref name=Cohen/> The firm's "Social Profile Navigator" provides users with an overview of the data they are sharing on social media sites.<ref name=Beck>{{cite web|last1=Beck|first1=Martin|title=Cool Janrain Tool Shows The Data You Expose When You Log In Socially|url=http://marketingland.com/cool-janrain-tool-shows-exposing-log-socially-92949|website=Marketing Land|access-date=November 17, 2015|date=July 25, 2014|publisher=Third Door Media, Inc.}}</ref> Arktan, which Janrain acquired in 2014, developed technology that analyzes Facebook data and enables comments, polls, reviews, and other services.

'''Jyte''' was a community-based [[website]] created by JanRain in late January 2007, named as an acronym for "Just You Tell 'Em".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jyte.com/cl/jyte-means-just-you-tell-em |title=Jyte - Jyte means Just You Tell 'Em |website=jyte.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070212183511/http://jyte.com/cl/jyte-means-just-you-tell-em |archive-date=2007-02-12}}</ref> According to the developers, Jyte allowed users to "make claims about [themselves], others, or just about anything".<ref>http://blog.jyte.com/2007/02/02/what-is-jyte/ {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref> These "claims" consisted of a headline and, optionally, a short text body. They could also be assigned user-selected [[Tag (metadata)|tags]]. A claim was presented as a [[Sentence (linguistics)#Classification by purpose|declarative]] sentence. Site users could then vote on it by selecting whether they agree or disagree. The total number of people who have voted, as well as their votes, were displayed with the claim. Users could also leave comments on claims, with or without voting. One article described Jyte as an example of the "democracy of the internet," which "can appear to give rise to some amazing insights."<ref>Rick Nouwen, "What's in a quantifier?", Martin Everaert, ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=7mTjmBeG_KAC&dq=jyte.com&pg=PA235 The Linguistics Enterprise: From Knowledge of Language to Knowledge in Linguistics]'', John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2010, p. 235.</ref>
In addition, users could give each other "cred". Cred consisted of a short word or phrase, such as a tag, that applied to a user. For example, if user Bob made a valid claim about [[darts]], user Mary might assign him "darts" cred. Receiving cred increased the recipient user's "cred score". Cred was designed to give an idea of how trustworthy a user was in a given area, as well as his or her interests.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jyte.com/help#cred |title=Jyte - Help! |website=jyte.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202044413/http://jyte.com/help |archive-date=2007-02-02}}</ref>
Jyte was developed primarily with [[Ruby on Rails]], and was interoperable with other sites by means of several [[Application programming interface|APIs]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://jyte.com/site/api |title=Jyte: Spread the Cred |access-date=2021-04-07 |archive-date=2012-05-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501172933/http://jyte.com/site/api |url-status=dead }}</ref> It relied solely on [[OpenID]] for user [[authentication]]. The use of one's OpenID in multiple websites and environments and the creation of a non-anonymous, portable, weighted, and persistent online reputation could provide advantages to a user in future discussions in other online and off line contexts. Jyte was described as a source of arbitrary opinions.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HfQlcc1PQ6cC&q=jyte&pg=PA335|title=Internet and Network Economics: 4th International Workshop, WINE 2008, Shanghai, China, December 17-20, 2008.
