Led by RHO Canada Ventures, joined by Build Ventures, and current investor Wesley Clover, the Series A financing positions AirVM for continued global growth as they scale to meet the demand for their cloud management platform, AirSembly.<\/p>\n

The company says it will also leverage this funding to expand into new regions, new cloud services, and new platform technologies.<\/p>\n

“AirVM has grown tremendously in 2015, and as we continue to add new partners, this Series A financing ensures ongoing innovation and growth to meet the demands of the cloud industry,” said Joshua Vautour, founder of AirVM. “We will continue to build on our momentum as the leading VMware cloud management platform company and expand into new markets.”<\/p>\n

“AirVM solves real problems for its customers in a market that offers the potential for sustained growth,” said Sean Brownlee, Partner of Rho Canada Ventures. “With its strategic relationships and proven products, the company is very well positioned to take advantage of the opportunity.”<\/p>\n

We look forward to working with them.”<\/p>\n
