Novel Souvenir acquires USD 3.5M to aid carry off Ruby on Rail practical applications


Fresh Keepsake, an startup that helps you pull off practical applications reinforced with the Ruby on Rail framework, has elevated USD 3.5 000 000 in a first round of backing.

The company’s founder Jerry Lee Lewis Cirne already has some experience with application public presentation direction — in 1998, he launched Sly Engineering, a company that furnished an alike service for Java apps. Cunning finally turned to USD 100 000 000 in annual receipts and was got by CA, INC. in 2006.

Menlo Park, Caliph.-based Fresh Souvenir’s offer industrial plant as a Runway plugin and is said to furnish an easy user interface for developers to notice, name and fix problems with their apps (realise screenshot at a lower place). It’s still in private testing manner; Cirne tells the company has already sign up 50 clients. (Since it’s still in testing, they’re not paid any fees up to now.) The service should get uncommitted to the general public in 60 hours or so.


Bench mark Capital, and Bench mark general partner Saint Peter Fenton is falling in the startup’s board. Fenton states he’s peculiarly pulled in to Novel Token because it’s tipping into two transformative new engineerings — computer science in the Cyberspace “cloud”, and the Ruby on Runway framework.

Of course of study, there’s already a mint of activity in this market. In fact, Bench mark put in some other Track company, Railway locomotive Pace, back in Jan. But Fenton and Cirne both state that Locomotive Pace and Fresh Token are really complementary — Locomotive engine Pace helps with hosting and deployment, patch Novel Keepsake bumps problems in the application code itself.

There’s a personal connexion slow the business deal, excessively. Not only was Cirne an enterpriser in abode at Bench mark, but his old company Guileful was really Fenton’s very 1st investing as a marque new, 27-year-old venture capitalist.
