Filtrbox announced today at VCIR it has closed its seed financing round, led by Flywheel Ventures and True Ventures. We also have a wonderful group of angels on the funding team, including Steve Eskenazi, John Zeisler, David Cohen, and Ron Bloom. We could not be happier with the investors we have brought together and are excited to have support from both the rocky mountain region and silicon valley.

We also announced the start of our private beta today. If you have already registered on the Filtrbox.com site, you will receive an invitation code in the coming weeks. We gave out 250 accounts today to the VCIR attendees as well. If you want access to the private beta, just sign up here and we’ll invite you as soon as we can.

After a few very busy weeks and many late nights we have released the new Filtrbox.com site!

The previous site didn’t have all that much information about the service or what we were really up to, so we took a big step forward and have now included screen shots, product information, FAQs and more. We are in private beta, so you can sign up for the beta and we’ll send you an invite in the coming weeks. Like everything in an early-stage startup, its a work in progress and we’ll be making constant updates and improvements.

Let us know what you think!

Despite all the snow in Colorado this winter, things are starting to heat up here at the Filtrbox office. We’ll be participating in a number of events in the next few months as we start to share Filtrbox with more people and open up the private beta to more users. There are other events in the works as well, and we will announce them here as they become public.
