Cloud continual delivery service Wercker has received a seed investment from an A-list group of investors. Members of its new advisory board include Dan Harple, managing director of Shamrock Ventures and EIR at MIT; Jan Pieter Scheerder, former president of SunSoft; and Arthur van Hoff, EIR at Redpoint Ventures and former CTO of Flipboard. Wercker was part of the 2012 Rockstart Accelerator startup incubator based in Amsterdam, and most recently participated in Mozilla’s WebFWD program.
