Securing $60 million in financial backing from investors Henry R. Kravis; Ronald O. Perelman; Home Depot founder, Kenneth G. Langone; Joseph R. Perella; Duquesne Capital founder, Stanley F. Druckenmiller; and Loews co-chair, Andrew Tisch, Relationship Science launched its services in February 2013.[9][10]
The company secured an additional $30 million in funding in May 2013 from a group that included former chairman of Merrill Lynch, David H. Komansky; chief executive of Seagate Technology, Stephen J. Luczo; former Bush administration official, Reuben Jeffery III; real estate developer, William C. Rudin; and Salesforce.com.
