Crashlytics Nabs $5 Million In Series A Round Of Funding


California: Crashlytics, which provides powerful, yet light weight crash reporting for iOS and Android, has raised $5 million in series A round of funding from Flybridge Capital Partners and Baseline Ventures. Last year the company has raised $1 million in seed funding from Flybridge Capital Partners, Baseline Ventures, CommonAngels, David Chang, Jennifer Lum, Lars Albright, Ty Danco, Roy Rodenstein and Joe Caruso.

Cambridge-based startup Crashlytics was founded in 2011 by Jeff Seibert and Wayne Chang, both serial entrepreneurs. Since the launch of their crash reporting software for mobile applications, they have been swamped with interest to join the beta service. Over 500 organizations are already utilizing Crashlytics and deploying their SDK to tens of millions of devices.

The company provides developers with an online dashboard that helps explain where mobile app crashes might come from. The clientele includes Path, Hipstamatic, Highlight, Yammer, Box and SoundCloud among dozens of others.

Recently, the company launched secure UDID, an alternative identifier for iPhone developers. Apple started rejecting apps from its mobile app store for using UDIDs that allows developers to distinguish between iPhone.
