Firespotter Labs, Makers Of UberConference, Raise $15 Million From Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures

Although it was only a month ago that?Firespotter Labs?CEO?Craig Walker?was telling us how his company (the folks?behind UberConference, Nosh, NoshList and Jotly) wasn't in urgent need of funding, today they're announcing the close of a good-sized round - a $15 million Series B. The round was led by?Andreessen Horowitz and saw participation from existing investor Google Ventures. For?Andreessen Horowitz, the funding was mainly about getting in on?recent TechCrunch Disrupt winner?UberConference. It's?the latest big telephony project from Walker, the creator of GrandCentral (now Google Voice). "They were excited about the opportunity in the voice space," Walker says of the VC firm's interest.
