Amper CEO Reflects on Path to Series A

Growing up immersed in manufacturing, I’ve always loved the factory floor and everything that goes into designing, manufacturing, and delivering products. Since Philip House and I founded Amper, our team has had the privilege to work closely with hundreds of manufacturers across the US to level-up operations, and we have been reimagining the way industrial technology can be consumerized and bring delight to every part of the technology adoption journey.

It’s my pleasure to share that we recently closed an $11M Series A led by Lewis & Clark Ventures, with participation from leading funds like Slow Ventures, Foundation Capital, Corazon Capital, SOSV, GTMfund and Converge VC. 🚀

I’d like to give a special shoutout to Will Quist, Cyril Ebersweiler, and Brad Bullington for the mentorship and constant support through all the ups and downs. Easily the most empathetic, scientific, and long-term focused early-stage investors I've met!

In this exciting new chapter of Amper, I’m thrilled to be closely working with Brian Hopcraft, Steve Vassallo, Zach Kaplan and Steve Farsht.

I’d also like to thank Nilanjana Bhowmik, Ash Rust, Jacob Ruttenberg, Jamie McGurk, Nina Essandoh, Aaron Rankin, Ryan Barretto, Paul Rosen, Max Altschuler, Scott Barker, Scott Cannon, Jeff Kahn, Nick, Jesse and all the other folks who helped make the round happen.

Big shoutout to the entire team at Amper whose unreasonable tenacity and dedication to unlocking the potential of manufacturers have made this milestone possible.

Having deployed Amper on thousands of assets, we have seen the power of IoT and connected software creating the connective tissue on the shop floor to track, execute and improve manufacturing operations. This round is going to enable expansion in building the next phase of products and will accelerate towards our vision of a FactoryOS. We are doubling down on our product-led engine and expanding our free trial program, which is centered on a transparent and seamless experience to shorten time to value and easily take our products for a spin.

Onward and upward! Check out the full story in TechCrunch.
