Password manager Dashlane closes on $30M, adds former Spotify CMO to board
Summary
He now joins Dashlane as the password management app has topped over 10 million users — a milestone it hit last June. Dashlane has also been expanding its product to include new features like Dark Web monitoring, which alerts users if their information is being passed around by hackers on the far reaches of the internet; and has added a VPN and identify theft protection. “I am excited to join the board of Dashlane, a company with the right vision for the internet at the right time,” said Seth Farbman, in a statement. “I see many of the same attributes in Dashlane, as I did in Spotify, when I first joined—a best-in-class product that its customers love, a diverse and capable team focused on growth and innovation and powerful macro trends that put the wind at the company’s back. That’s thanks, in part, to news coverage of Facebook’s privacy gaffes, security breaches and the changes to the way sites collect and use personal data, as required by Europe’s GDPR.
