Today, VKernel is announcing we have secured $7 million in Round B funding led by new investor Longworth Venture Partners and joined by existing investors Hummer Winblad and Polaris. The entire VKernel team is very excited about this latest round of funding as it validates the hard work and countless hours everybody has put in over the last year and half. To receive this level of funding in these economic times shows that top-tier investment firms believe in our company, our people, our products, and our overall direction.
Longworth posted a Blog entry, "Our investment in VKernel," on its site this morning that captures the essence of why they chose to invest in us.
Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel, offers this statement about why VKernel is different from the other virtualization management vendors and what the funding means to the company.
"From the start, VKernel made the decision to take a different approach to this market using a high velocity sales and marketing strategy to offer low-cost, simple-to-use products that deliver instant value,” said Bakman. “As a result, we are quickly becoming a ‘go-to’ company for organizations wanting to optimize their virtual data center investments. This latest round of funding is validation of our strategy and our success to date.”
