DeviceVM, a San Jose-based company developing rapid-start computing technologies, today announced the closing of a $10 million Series B round of funding to support its continued growth. The lead investor for this round of financing is premier venture capital firm DFJ Dragon, an affiliate fund of Draper Fisher Jurvetson of Menlo Park, California. Additional contributors to this financing round include Sumitomo's venture arm, Presidio, HTC Founders Cher Wang and Chen Wen Chi, and WR Hembrecht Ventures. "We are very excited to have the financial backing of DFJ Dragon," says Mark Lee, CEO and co-founder of DeviceVM. "The support from DFJ Dragon and our other investors will allow us to expand the distribution of our Splashtop technology to a worldwide audience." This latest round of financing follows an August 2007 $10.5M first round of funding. Storm Ventures lead the Series A investment, with DFJ Dragon, ASUS, iDInnovations (Acer), Harbinger (Mitac-Synnex), and various angels contributing.
With the funding, DeviceVM plans on incorporating Splashtop(TM) with a wide range of manufacturers and products. The company plans to have numerous Splashtop-enabled motherboards, desktops, and laptops available internationally in 2008.
"We believe DeviceVM offers consumers an incredible computing experience," says Bobby Chao, Founder and Managing Director of DFJ Dragon. "We look forward to Splashtop becoming widely available on products from major computer manufacturers."
"Splashtop promises to be a disruptive force that changes the world of personal computing as we know it," says Tim Draper, the Managing Director of DFJ Dragon, and an investor behind successes such as Skype and Baidu. "We are extremely pleased to back such a revolutionary company and product."
