Xobni Closes $7 Million Series B Financing – Bring on 2009!
This past year has been very exciting for Xobni and we expect 2009 to be even better.
During 2008, we introduced Xobni to the world. We saw our product downloaded more than 1.5 million times and evolve into an application deployed by Fortune 500 enterprises. We also struck some key partnerships to help bring more of the Web into your inbox, making it easier to manage your relationships and connections.
Our goal for 2009 is to continue to expand our business and scale to meet the needs of our growing user base. Specifically, we plan to continue improvements to the quality of our product, focus on our premium business, and address the growing interest from our enterprise customer base. To achieve these goals, we set out for more funds and recently completed a $7 million Series B financing where Cisco Systems has joined our existing investors – Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Baseline Ventures, and Atomico – in supporting us in our vision for Xobni.
Here is the press release with details (LINK) and below are some of our highlights from 2008:
Happy New Years to everyone. Here’s to a great 2009!
