Scan Gets $1.7M From Google Ventures And Shervin Pishevar To Make QR Codes Actually Useful

Scan_LogoThe most impressive thing about Scan is that it, as a humble QR code app, has raised over $1.7 million in seed funding from, wait for it, Shervin Pishevar via Menlo Ventures,Google Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Yuri Milners Start Fund, Social + Capital Partnership, Transmedia Capital, Ludlow Ventures and angels Ariel Poler, Naval Ravikant of AngelPool, Jim Pallotta of Raptor Group and Gaga manager Troy Carter.Utah-based Scan co-founder Garrett Gee finds QR codes as distasteful as the next person, but he believe in exceptions.
