Alex Hawkinson, CEO & Founder of SmartThings, wrote this post today announcing their new A round of financing:
Today marks a very important milestone for our young company, and we would be remiss if we didn’t take the time to thank everyone who has made it possible. As you may have seen, we’ve just announced our next round of funding from two premier venture capital firms: Greylock Partners and Highland Capital Partners.
Congratulations to Alex and the entire team. We are looking forward to new product, new distribution and an acceleration in to the Internet of Things (IoT) space!
For your viewing pleasure (since many people I’ve talked with about SmartThings have not seen this video) this Twilio video shows a demo by Jeff Hagins, Founder and CTO of SmartThings, talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) and the physical graph (Note: Twilio is the company that SmartThings uses to send notifications to those of us using their products and apps!).
