- Swimm
Participated · Seed · Jan 2021
Swimm provides a developer documentation solution that prompts engineers to create docs, makes them easier to author, and flags documentation that falls out of date. The product embeds documentation alongside code in users' repositories and integrates with IDEs and GitHub so docs go through the same CI and delivery pipeline as code. Swimm is language-agnostic and treats documentation as code, allowing it to follow codebase changes and surface outdated docs. The company released its product in beta concurrent with the fundraise. Swimm launched in 2019 and currently employs about 30 people, with staff in Tel Aviv, a couple in the U.S., and one in Berlin; the team is over 40% women and the company plans to increase that to about half as it hires. Financially, Swimm announced a $27.6M Series A and has now raised $33.3M in total. Swimm provides tooling that helps teams create auto-updated documentation, walkthroughs and tutorials tied directly to source code. Its code browser surfaces all documentation related to a given file and the product automatically updates code examples or alerts developers when manual updates are needed. The tool runs locally on developers' machines so no code is sent to Swimm's servers, a design that reduced security concerns and attracted early customers in the security sector. The founding team developed the product based on experiences running Israel Tech Challenge, a coding bootcamp inspired by the Israeli Defence Forces' 8200 unit. Swimm has focused on building the core product with design partners and its first paying customers and plans to expand its user base after launching the beta. The company raised funding to accelerate product development and go-to-market efforts.

Snyk has raised $470M to date and intends to use the new funds to expand its business reach. The company also announced several senior hires and two new board appointments concurrent with the financing. Snyk builds security into the development process, offering tools that scan code commits and git repositories to surface vulnerabilities rather than relegating security to separate teams. The company uses an open-source product as a top-of-funnel to drive interest in its platform. Snyk's annual recurring revenue is growing 275% year over year, and the startup has accelerated hiring — adding 100 employees in the last 12 months and reaching 375 employees with plans to add another 100. Company leadership says the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated customers' shifts to the cloud and cloud-native applications, increasing demand for its developer-centric security approach.

Participated · Series A · May 2016
Robin builds a modern workplace platform that empowers employees to work regardless of location, supporting offices, homes, co-working spaces and other physical locations. The company positions itself as a category-leading provider of modern work software for distributed teams. Founded in 2014 and datelined Boston in the announcement, Robin focuses on platform innovation and expanding global reach. Financially, Robin recently completed a $30 million Series C and has raised more than $60 million in total capital. The company says it will leverage strategic partnerships and investments to accelerate growth and bring Robin to more companies and users worldwide. Robin is an office-reservation platform that launched in 2014 as a conference-room scheduling app and has since expanded to desk booking, room reservation and guest management available on web and mobile. The product includes guest check-in, equipment reservations, office utilization analytics and a Global Hybrid Trends Dashboard that benchmarks usage against similar companies. On the back end, managers can track how spaces are used over time, calculate ideal seat counts and receive auto-suggested desks near colleagues. Robin says it anonymizes usage data and aggregates it across spaces, floors and buildings, though the extent of anonymization was not detailed. Thousands of teams — including governments, militaries and customers such as Toyota, Twitter, Mailchimp and Peloton — use the platform. The company employs over 190 people and plans to invest in platform development, international expansion and further headcount growth. Robin Powered began as part of One Mighty Roar and was spun out in 2014 by co-founder Sam Dunn and two co-founders. The company integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook to surface available meeting rooms and activity spaces, and provides tablet signage, seating charts, office maps, and usage insights. Robin aims to give companies visibility into office “inventory” and how space is used so they can identify shortages or excesses of meeting rooms and collaboration areas. It charges clients per room ($300) and per desk ($24–$60) as part of its monetization. The company positions its technology as a backbone for clients’ offices similar to the services WeWork provides alongside physical space. Robin has raised capital to scale these products and insights, with a total of $30 million raised to date. Robin offers a scheduling and space-management platform that lets employees find, book, and see equipment availability for meeting rooms via mobile apps and the web. The software can be installed on tablets mounted outside rooms to display schedules and is searchable for specific needs (e.g., video conferencing equipment at a given time). Robin integrates beacon technology to auto-detect attendees’ arrival and departure and provides analytics on space usage so employers can better plan office workflows and space allocation. It also integrates with Slack and Aruba Meridian to enable easy booking and indoor navigation to booked rooms. Pricing is charged per space per month with discounted per-room pricing for larger offices. The company recently raised new funding, strengthening its financial position to expand product deployment and adoption. Robin provides a software layer for office buildings that uses iBeacon and Bluetooth LE beacons to detect people, automate conference-room bookings, and update nearby devices. The product includes iOS and Android apps, zone-based beacons (one covers up to 30 meters), and an analytics dashboard for office-wide overview. Pricing is tiered from $100 to $1,000 per month depending on number of zones, with a free tier planned for a limited number of zones. The company spun out of One Mighty Roar; the 15-person team includes founders Sam and Zach Dunn and partners Brian Muse (CTO) and Apollo Sinkevicius (COO). Robin is running a summer pilot with about 20 locations (including a News Corp floor and Blade) and has a wait list approaching 100 offices for a wider fall release.
