isocket Raises $2M In Funding From Top Investors
We’re excited to announce that isocket has closed a $2 million round of seed funding!
We’ve been quiet recently. The isocket team has been very busy since the launch of our private Beta with TechCrunch earlier this summer. In addition to working with new customers and working as fast as we can on product development, Zak and I have been looking for ways to grow the company so we can scale.
We know many of you are itching to try out the service – now we can ramp things up and get the product into more peoples hands, faster.
The A-Team
We are honored by the investors who have lost their minds believe in what we’re working on. These people are awesome:
- Tim Draper and Joel Yarmon for Draper Fisher Jurvetson
- David, Bruce and Bipul for Blumberg Capital
- Jeff Clavier for SoftTech VC
- Dave McClure for Founders Fund Angel
- David Cohen of Bullet Time Ventures and TechStars
- David, Lewis and Marc for Metamorphic Ventures
- Alexander Lloyd for Accelerator Ventures
- Marcus and Andy Ogawa for Quest Venture Partners
- Steve Gurasich, Co-Founder and CEO of the ad agency GSD&M IdeaCity
- Plug & Play Ventures
- Willem Schutte, David Weisburd, Hon Wah Chin, and Arjun Sethi
Please join me in welcoming them to the project. We are excited that such a great group of people believe in isocket and will be contributing to our growth. We look forward to working with them!
The Starting Line
Raising capital is one of the hardest and biggest hurdles for startup founders. As a result, many entrepreneurs make funding the goal – in other words, it becomes the finish line.
But for Zak, myself, and all the new team members who will be joining us – this is the starting line. We now have the resources we need to start growing isocket into what we know it can be.
We’re Hiring!
isocket is hiring. We just announced a bunch of open positions at our (future) office in San Mateo, CA. Engineers, designers, sales – you name it, we probably need it.
Are you or someone you know incredibly talented and passionate? Want to join one of the few newly funded companies in the Valley? Say hello.
