The company was founded by Kris Duggan and Wedge Martin, and launched at TechCrunch Disrupt on September 27, 2010 . At that time, the company had raised less than $300k in angel funding.

In November 2010, the firm raised a $2.5M Series A round led by El Dorado Ventures and Trinity Ventures. Badgeville subsequently raised a $12M Series B Round in July 2011, led by Norwest Venture Partners and El Dorado Ventures.

In November 2011, Badgeville unveiled the Behavior Platform for Enterprise, expanding their business beyond gamification to include enterprise employee management and community reputation systems.
