Venice-based SaaS company Signal Sciences announced a $2 million seed round last week. The two-month-old startup, which provides security monitoring and defense for web applications, will be using the funds for private deployments over the next few months before they launch for general use.
“Right now, we're heads down on development with our first customers,” CEO Andrew Peterson said.
Also on deck this year is beefing up their engineering team - thanks to the round led by Harrison Metal and O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures. Big names in the tech world also signed on to support Signal Sciences last week: Yahoo CISO Alex Stamos, technologist Bob Pasker, Etsy CEO Chad Dickerson and Tripwire founder Gene Kim just to name a few.
The company’s very first hire just started last week and many more hires will come this year right here in LA.
“When we decided to start Signal Sciences our team was spread across the world in NYC, Tokyo and Seattle,” Peterson said. “Ultimately, we decided to set up our offices in LA because of how promising the tech landscape is here. We just moved into our Venice office and we're extremely excited to be a part of the growing community in Los Angeles.”
