Tagstand Raises $1.1 Million To Help Take NFC Mainstream
The new iPhone may not have it, but the next one probably will and it's becoming increasingly commonplace on Android and other smartphone platforms alike.Yes, Near Field Communication (NFC for short), is finally starting to make its way into the hands of consumers. And a YC-backed company called Tagstand is looking to help developers take advantage of the technology, by giving them (and brands) all the tools and special, NFC-equipped stickers they need.Today the YC-backed company, which we first covered in August, is announcing that it's raised a $1.1 million funding round that includes many notable angels. The full list: Yuri Milner, SV Angel, Naval Ravikant, Paul Buchheit, Yael Shazeer, Christina Brodbeck, Anand Agarawala, Mike Berolzheimer, Bee Partners, Quotidian Ventures, TEEC (Chinese angel network), Vaizra Investments (Israeli fund), Dean Smith, Christopher Morton, and Anand Swaminathan.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/-xQyvHd-LdY/
