Chicago-based mobile apps and real estate company Mobile Doorman has secured $6.5 million in Series A funding, according to company database Crunchbase, topping the city’s recent funding headlines. The cash infusion was announced July 9 and financed by Reimagined Ventures.
According to its Crunchbase profile, "Mobile Doorman we believe buildings need to go beyond the web portal and connect with residents on their mobile devices. After being frustrated with the ability to use our smartphones to interact with our building managers, we created an app that does just that. Our app is customizable, both in terms of branding and features for each building we serve."
The six-year-old company has raised three previous funding rounds, including a $2 million Series A round in 2018.
The round brings total funding raised by Chicago companies in apps over the past month to $21 million, an increase of $7.5 million from the month before. The local apps industry has seen 20 funding rounds over the past year, yielding a total of $130 million in venture funding.
In other local funding news, music company Jammber announced a $2.2 million funding round on July 3, financed by Rise of the Rest.
According to Crunchbase, "The music industry has failed to digitize their payment and paperwork process, leading to millions of lost payments and credits. Jammber provides a solution in technology-enabled SaaS offerings which greatly streamline the music business. Jammber simplifies project management, payment tools, and facilitates workflow with unprecedented expediency."
Founded in 2013, the company has raised four previous rounds, including a $2.3 million round in 2018.
