I know I twittered on the topic of funding a couple of weeks ago but I'm delighted to formally announce that we've closed our seed round and that Cloudsoft is now up and running with a small development team based in Edinburgh led by our co-founder and CTO Alex Heneveld a.k.a. Red Threads.
We've secured seed funding from an innovative new fund Andromeda Capital along with Scottish Enterprise and we've taken up space at ETTC @ Informatics which is host to a number of other start ups including CereProc, Hubdub, Speckled Computing and VidioWiki.
Given the support we've received from Scottish Enterprise and Informatics Ventures (@infventures on twitter) we chose to post this today as we will be part of the Investor Showcase at Engage | Invest | Exploit 2009 (#eie09) this afternoon.
Rather than put out a press release (don't worry there will be plenty
of time for those in the months and years to come!) we thought we'd mark the
occasion a little differently by unveiling a limited edition poster
featuring our mantra Bringing Business to the Cloud.
All too often we use language rather glibly so it is worth reminding ourselves what we mean by a mantra. Widipedia's entry for Mantra sums this up rather elegantly as a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating transformation".
So that's what we are about - transforming the way business thinks about technology by bringing business to the cloud.
I'm curious why a Cloud startup in Scotland chose the Golden Gate bridge and the San Francisco skyline for its logo?
