Sketchfab’s $2 Million Funding Should Mean Lots More Fun 3-D Renderings of New Tech Gear
Sketchfab announced on Thursday that it has raised a $2 million funding round as it seeks to become “the YouTube of 3-D renderings.”
The funding comes from existing angel investors along with Balderton Capital, Partech Ventures, Borealis Ventures and TechStars founder David Cohen.
“I’m thrilled to announce that we have just closed a new round of financing which will help us carry our vision to the next level, and become THE platform and community for 3-D models on the web,” CEO Alban Denoyel said in a blog post. “We’re still at the beginning and a long road lies ahead. It means we can continue building the best in-browser 3-D viewing technology and platform.”
Hopefully, the money means that the company will also be able to keep making its renderings of just-announced tech gear, as it did this week with Amazon’s Prime Air drone.
