Chatty To-Do List App Orchestra Banks $5M From SV Angel And CRV For Texting With A Purpose
Sleek real time chat + to do list app Orchestra is announcing its funding this morning, with a just closed $5 million Series A round from Charles River Ventures and SV Angel, in addition to an earlier $500K in seed funding from Kapor Capital and other angel investors.Orchestra co-founder Gentry Underwood describes the free app as a "texting with a purpose" but also likens it to "a very simple to do list"; "Weve taken away everything that doesnt absolutely have to be there." With the co-founders each having done stints IDEO and Apple, its no surprise that Orchestra's interface is remarkably user friendly -- it seamlessly guides you through the tapping, swiping and shaking gestures needed to navigate upon first download. In the same "frictionless" spirit, he app also syncs automatically to https://www.orchestra.com.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/mpgixcNYt44/
