Rockies Venture Club Led Round With Additional Investment From Rockies Venture Fund, 3 Lines Venture Fund and Darkfield Accelerator
Denver, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OverWatchID, a Denver-based market leader in cloud-based converged identity security solutions, has completed an additional $1.2 million seed funding round led by the Rockies Venture Club (RVC). OverWatchID is one of eight companies that RVC has invested in as an angel group in 2018.
“Thanks to the Rockies Venture Club, we will use a significant portion of the funding from this seed round to redouble our focus on continued expansion and customer acquisition,” said Andy Funk, co-founder and CEO of OverWatchID. “The funding will help us expand our marketing and sales teams, as well as continue to grow our product team to bring even more identity security features to our patent-pending platform.”
“The RVC angel investors that syndicated alongside Rockies Venture Fund were interested in this company for two main reasons,” said RVC director of operations, Dave Harris. “The first is the caliber and experience of the team. Both CEO, Andy Funk, and CTO, Cameron Williams, have extensive enterprise development in identity security, and have demonstrated their ability to execute rapidly. Second, the cybersecurity industry continues to be red hot both, in terms of market adoption and the exit environment for innovative technologies in this space.”
Called a “company to watch” in the fast-growing Colorado cybersecurity marketplace, OverWatchID was recently tapped by the Denver Office of Economic Development as one of seven companies selected for exclusive membership in the prestigious Denver ScaleUp Network, which selects select fast-growing, second-stage companies in the Denver area. Additionally, OverWatchID graduated from the Plug and Play’s inaugural cyber security accelerator cohort earlier this month.
