Switchboard Raises $25M Series A to Transform Remote Collaboration
Summary
"The success of Switchboards beta launch clearly validates the strong desire for new, innovative ways to collaborate in our virtual world," said Mike Vernal, partner at Sequoia Capital. “We were immediately drawn to Switchboard because we believe this is the greatest way to collaborate,” said Ross Fubini, founder and managing partner of XYZ Venture Capital. “As the original investors in the company, we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the world appreciate the amazing potential of this platform.” Switchboard beta is currently hiring across engineering, product, and marketing. Switchboard allows users to both video conference and work within multiple web-based applications — from Google Docs and Figma, to Trello and Jira — in a single virtual room. Users can also create permanent public and private rooms that keep all the apps and files for projects and recurring meetings open for the next time they’re ready to collaborate.
