Inspovation: That magic moment when inspiration collides with innovation to launch a new opportunity or define a new path. We are a group of senior executives who provide advice and angel funding in mobile, SaaS and cloud computing. The partners and affiliates at Inspovation have built many companies and had the good fortune of taking a few public. Our fondest memories are the earliest days of a company when we truly thought that our innovation would change the world and the entire team functioned as a close-knit family. This is the stage at which we choose to partner with startups. In addition to investing, we like to “fill the gaps” and be the partners “on call” for entrepreneurs starting new companies. We act as advisors and leverage our collective network for initial customer acquisition, recruiting, fundraising and more. Recent investments include Firebase (acquired by Google), Swell (acquired by Apple), RefleXion ($100M Series C), Aporeto (acquired by Palo Alto Networks), Appurify (acquired by Google), LearnUp (acquired by ManPower), Vocalnet (acquired by Jive), Flutter (acquired by Google), OpsClarity (acquired by Lightbend), Verbling (acquired by Busuu), Fortanix, StackShare, Spoke, Infiot, Alan, Credibase, Next Force Technology, Haystack TV and Tala Security. Inspovation invests up to $500K in selected start-ups and has streamlined the funding process to keep the time-to-investment to a minimum.
