The company raised approximately $40 million in series A funding from Columbia Capital, Blue Lagoon Capital, Intel Capital, Noro-Moseley Partners and TDF Ventures between September 2009 and May 2010, and $15 million in series B funding in July 2011 from Intel Capital, Columbia Capital, Noro-Moseley Partners, QuestMark Capital and TDF Ventures.[11][12]
