Zyper, the London-based marketing platform that connects brands with their “superfans,” had raised $6.5 million in Series A funding. The second round, which brought Zyper’s total funding to date to $8.5 million, was led by Talis Capital, with participation from Forerunner Ventures and Y Combinator.
I was the first engineering hire at Zyper, helping them build the MVP in less then one month. This effort helped the team secure the second round of fund raising. Ultimately the company was successfully sold.
