security system, have today announced that theyve secured a $10m Series A led by
Khosla Ventures, with participation from Bobby Yazdani as well as a number of in
itial seed investors, and Two Sigma Ventures. </P><P>Previously, Canary had rais
ed a $1.2 million seed round from Two Sigma and Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, as wel
l as $2 million from a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. </P><P>As part of the
funding, Ben Ling will be joining the Canary board. </P><P>Canary looks to brid
ge the gap between absolutely no home security and a complicated system that cos
ts thousands. By putting a number of sensors (air quality, smoke detector, motio
n sensors, etc) inside a little capsule with an HD camera, users can monitor the
ir home from a remote location through a simple app. </P><P>Canary is smart enou
gh to learn the difference between a pet, or a nanny that shows up at the same t
ime every day, and an intruder, and will alert the home owner as soon as somethi
ng fishy is detected. You can loop up to four Canary systems together to monitor
every nook and cranny of the house, but in most cases just one unit is needed.
</P><P>The theory is that, anyone who breaks into your home will probably walk t
hrough the main room, whether they break in in the basement or the bedroom windo
w. Burglars and bad guys rarely break into one room, remain in that room, and le
ave. That said, Canary should pick up an intruder even if it isnt monitoring ever
y door and window in the home. </P><P>According to the blog post, this latest ro
und of funding will allow Canary to move fast the first product and grow the com
pany into something more full featured. The plan is to hire more people and acce
lerate production. </P><P>Heres an excerpt from the official announcement:</P><BL
OCKQUOTE readability="8"><P>Its our belief that by re-imagining the way people co
nnect to their homes and protect the people and things that matter most, we can
make communities safer and smarter. The financing we received will help us reach
our goal of democratizing home security, and weve already started putting it to
use. Our team has more than doubled in the past six months, and we have plenty o
f positions open for smart people who share our passion. </P></BLOCKQUOTE>
