After coming off a successful Indiegogo campaign, EzeeCube pulls in an additional $100,000 from Nest Investments.
Just four months ago, we had a chat with founder and CEO Ashok Jaiswal about his startup, as he was gearing up for the launch of their crowdfunding campaign. After raising almost US $150,000 of their $75,000 goal and selling over 1,000 units – EzeeCube has been added to Nest’s portfolio of the most promising startups in Asia. “We’re happy to team up with Nest and their high profile management team and take part in their wealth of marketing prowess, capital and strategic thinking to bring EzeeCube to every corner of the globe,” said Jaiswal.
The Hong Kong-based investment incubator will be lending the young hardware startup a hand to scale up sales and marketing efforts. And at the nick of time, as EzeeCube is just on the brink of a marketing blitz including their global retail launch at the Consumer Electronics show in January.
“EzeeCube has the hardware and software figured out and the management team has the know-how on what’s needed next to make this promising startup scale,” said Nest CEO Simon Squibb. “We feel this investment is a guaranteed ROI for us and it’s really just a matter of how big this company is going to be, not if it will be successful or not.”
Created with your camera-happy family members in mind, EzeeCube was born from a lack of options for storing and organizing photos securely in the cloud. Offering up a possible 9 terabytes of stackable space, the open source media hub is powered by XBMC, compatible with both iOS and Android and doubles as a Blu-ray player and a game console.
