Esper has announced that it has raised $30 Million in Series B funding. The funding was led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors, Madrona Venture Group, Root Ventures, Ubiquity Ventures, and Haystack. This brings Esper’s total funding to $40.6 million.
The platform claims to empower engineers, developers, and operations teams with tools crafted for company owned Android devices. Its full stack platform covers building, deploying, managing, and maintaining to move beyond MDM and to Device Orchestration.
“The world of edge devices is growing daily – from the ubiquitous tablets in retail, restaurants and warehouses, to fitness equipment and kiosks. All these devices need provisioning, scaled deployments, and frequent and remote updates,” said Andy Vitus, partner at Scale Venture Partners. “Esper is the DevOps infrastructure for the millions of fleets of devices out there in the hands of non-IT users – consumers, restaurant workers, shoppers, and more. We led their Series B because we see parallels with other highly successful DevOps companies and Esper has already established themselves as the leader in the burgeoning need for device DevOps.”
The announcement also informed that Andy Vitus will join Esper’s board and will participate in the next growth phase of the company.
