One of the fastest growing Silicon Valley based firms is rollApp. The start up is tasked to create an online service that allows users to run unmodified software on any device connected to the Internet.
The current beta version of the software runs on Windows and Linux on iPad, Chrome OS devices as well as desktop systems such as Windows, MacOS and Linux.
The firm had announced the completion of its Series A funding amounting to US$1 million. The funding was led by LETA Capital. One of the initial investors to the company, TMT Investments, also participated in this round. The funds would be used to upgrade the software from its current beta phase to market adoption with able support with popular devices and platforms to eventually monetize the current free software.
According to rollApp founder and CEO Vlad Pavlov, "Technology developed by rollApp eliminates the need to re-work existing software products every time when a new platform enters the market. There is no need to change existing apps to make it possible to use them on new devices. And there is no need to develop new software to work with existing files from the new devices. We have published a critical mass of apps on our platform, so our customers can use rollApp to view and edit virtually any file: documents, spreadsheets, pictures, e-books, archives, mind-maps, etc. In one click, inside a browser, from almost any device, with no downloads/installs.
