Asana Raises $9 Million For Web Collaboration Software
What the company does exactly is still a mystery, but it was founded in December by two veterans of Facebook -- Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein. A couple of former Google engineers are also involved. Benchmark's Matt Cohler, himself a Facebook veteran, joined the board and has invested personally in Asana in addition to leading the Series A round. Andreessen Horowitz -- Andreessen and Horowitz have also invested personally -- is the other venture capital firm backing Asana. Cohler said that while it's too early to say much about the software, it will "enable individuals and groups, especially groups, to manage knowledge work -- a problem that hasn't been well addressed by existing solutions, despite e-mail, wikis, Lotus Notes."
