Further to last week's announcement about Quadri Ventures leading SwiftConnect’s $37m Series B funding round, we were thrilled to see co-CEOs Chip Kruger and Matt Kopel featured in TechCrunch with an excellent write-up from Kyle Wiggers. The article explains how they are transforming the access management space, and how this most recent funding will keep them leading from the front.   With the advent of flexible workspaces, companies are increasingly adopting smartphone-based authentication to let employees enter and leave. In a recent poll, nearly two in five firms said they’re letting staff use their phones to access office buildings. The boon has benefited vendors like SwiftConnect, which sells a platform for managing access to physical offices. Chip Kruger and Matt Kopel founded the company in 2020 after selling their previous company, Waltz, to WeWork in 2019.
