We’re Funded!

By Nat Robinson on March 19, 2008

We’re pleased to announce that SlideRocket has secured a Series A round of funding from Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.

Hummer Winblad Venture Partners

As we looked for investors it was important for us to find a team that understands SlideRocket’s value, shares our vision, and has the experience to help us get where we want to go. Hummer Winblad surpasses our expectations on all counts and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of their family.

We’re also happy to announce that Mitchell Kertzman will join the SlideRocket board. Mitchell brings a wealth of software and industry experience and we’re very pleased to have him on our team.

What does this mean? It doesn’t mean that everyone at SlideRocket gets a Herman Miller Aeron chair (except Mitch who brought his from home). We are going to expand development, broaden our sales and marketing operations, build out the SlideRocket Community, and finance some infrastructure improvements.

We’re currently in private beta and on track for our public preview very soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

    i have been waiting (and waiting and waiting) for years for the online apps to catch up with old fashioned fat applications from MS etc – the promise of delivering this is almost too good to be true. Well done for building a strong enough case to secure funding. If you can spare an invite I would appreciate it
