Grockit Raises Series B
Posted by: farbood on: May 30, 2008
We recently raised our Series B financing. We couldn’t be more excited about the firms we are working with. The press release is below.
Grockit, a San Francisco Learning 2.0 Start-Up has raised its Series B financing. Integral Capital Partners lead the $8M round with Benchmark Capital, who lead their Series A, participating as well. Grockit is creating a MMOLG (Massively Multi Player Online Learning Game) where people can connect to learn from each other. The company was founded by Farbood Nivi, a long time teacher, and Michael Buffington, a well known Rails developer. Grockit will use the latest financing to expand their development team and they plan to launch their first product this fall.

Congratulations on your latest successful round of financing! I just found this place via Massively.com’s news post, and while I have to admit I was initially skeptical, reading your blog entries has me intrigued. Are you going to be releasing any additional information on the specifics or doing any interviews prior to your launch date? I’m curious to see exactly how you intend to use online space to promote learning.
