Switch Raises $35 Million In Strategic Funding To Expand Its Cloud-Based Phone System

Funding Rounds

Summary

The company, which was founded as FireSpotter Labs, had previously raised $18 million in funding with plans to incubate a series of different products. Switch follows a similar track of those earlier products, enabling communications via voice and text on multiple devices, including mobile phones and desktops. Users get a universal number that they can be reached at regardless of device, and apps to enable easy communications between team members. Switch, by contrast, offers a quick path to setting up and managing voice and text communications services within the enterprise. While it just launched a few months ago, the company is looking to ramp up its enterprise sales machine, and sees the most recent funding round as strategic to making that happen.
