Neura raises $2 million to help connect the Internet of Things

Neura, a leading early stage technology company focused on connecting the Internet of Things, announced today it has secured $2 million in funding, led by venture capital firm Greenhouse Capital Partners, alongside SingTel Innov8 Ventures, Pitango Venture Capital, TriplePoint Ventures, and prominent angel investors, including Ben Narasin and Isaac Applbaum. Neura is a graduate of Silicon Valley based accelerator UpWest Labs.

With more than 26 billion (or more) connected devices anticipated by 2020, there’s a big question about how those devices will talk to one another. But the scientists behind Neura, a startup that has offices in both California and Israel, are less worried about how devices will talk to each other and much more concerned with how humans will interact with them. It’s not like people want to spend hours tweaking their dozens of devices just to make them work. Neura, which was founded in January of last year, thinks it has a solution to this problem in the form of a technology stack for the internet of things. The company has raised $2 million in seed funding led by venture capital firm Greenhouse Capital Partners, alongside SingTel Innov8 Ventures, Pitango Venture Capital, TriplePoint Ventures, and several angel investors.
