From The Founders Of Docverse Comes Highfive, A Startup That’s Raised $13.5 Million To Disrupt Enterprise Communications

Funding Rounds

Summary

Well, there’s a new player in town called Highfive that hopes to ease the pain of communications within the workforce, with technology that is rolling out in beta to some enterprise clients. With that in mind, Highfive believes there’s an opportunity within the enterprise for a new mode of communication that will take advantage of all the technological advancements that have been made over the past few decades. It also has an impressive list of angels who have put money in, including Salesforce’s Marc Benioff, Dropbox’s Drew Houston, Box’s Aaron Levie, YouTube’s Shishir Mehrotra, and Xobni founders Matt Brezina and Adam Smith. I look forward to seeing what they’ve built and wish them a whole lot of luck… Because lord knows I’d love to have something to replace all the crappy and kludgy communications tools I’m forced to deal with on a day-to-day basis. == * As a side note, I’m personally skeptical of startups that aren’t willing to show off at least a little bit of product before launch, especially when they’re taking on a problem as big as “redefining enterprise communications.” But, hey, the founders have a good pedigree, and it seems like they’ve got some decent traction with early clients, so who knows?
