District-based TrackMaven, the maker of software that allows companies to track competitors’ marketing efforts, has raised $6.5 million from New Enterprise Associates and other investors, executives announced Tuesday. Founder Allen Gannett said the Series A round will allow the start-up to grow its employee headcount from 15 to 50 over the next year, adding positions in both sales and product development. “Right now we’re in the process of looking for a new office,” Gannett said in an interview. “We’re going to stay in downtown D.C. and through the year we’ll launch a lot of interesting, new, secret products and features.”
