Appirio - It’s nice to have a rich date.

July 29, 2008

Just over a week ago Appirio picked up about $5-million and change in financing from Sequoia Capital and that’s not pennies! Appirio is one of the cloud’s darling wunderkinds of integration and not that long ago (earlier this year) picked up a million and some financing straight from Salesforce.com and friends.

I was a little surprised to see Appirio walk away with a fistful of cash that size, considering they seem to have just exploded onto the scene over the last few months, and IT blogger Jeff Kaplan seems to have noticed as well. His perspective is especially unique in this situation as he was a part of a Sequoia funded company that tailed Cisco around over a decade ago providing services eerily similar to what Appirio does for the cloud today.

Have a read and keep an eye on Appirio.
