Skiff, a startup building an end-to-end encrypted collaboration platform, has raised $10.5m in Series A funding round.
The round was led by Sequoia Capital and saw participation from a number of angel investors including former CEO of Mozilla John Lily, former CTO of Coinbase Balaji Srinivasan and Albert Ni from Dropbox and the Ethereum Foundation.
Founded in 2020, California-based Skiff claims it is redesigning software ‘as it should have been’ – to be easy, private, and secure. The company’s first product is an end-to-end encrypted platform that supports collaboration, email, and messaging.
Skiff said, “Everything from building a personal knowledge base to writing collaborative meeting notes is done in complete privacy. No one, not even Skiff, can ever see the title, content, or description of a user’s document.”
As well as end-to-end encryption of all of their data, Skiff noted that its provides its customers with the option to use the decentralised Interplanetary File System protocol for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system.
