XConnect Raises $12 Million
Great to see that XConnect raised $12 million in a round that included: Accel Partners of England and Venrock Associates of the US, together with Grazia Equity of Germany and Bridge Capital Fund of Japan (an affiliate of Nikko Antfactory).
In a prepared statement, Eli Katz said "Our federated peering services enable service providers and carriers to deliver compelling new VoIP services and features on a cross-network basis while simultaneously reducing the capital and operational costs inherent in the PSTN model that it is replacing. This investment from a syndicate led by global Tier 1 VCs underscores the importance of peering and registry services in enabling the industry-wide migration from the legacy PSTN to the new generation of IP Communications."
And I would have to agree.
Congrats to Eli Katz and his team!
