History
PageCloud was founded in 2014 and officially launched in May 2015 by Craig Fitzpatrick at TechCrunch Disrupt.[3] For seed funding he relied on investments from other software entrepreneurs, including Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke. Fitzpatrick created the initial software after the sale of previous startup Source Metrics, where he became frustrated with how difficult it was to build and run a website.[1] During its pre-sale period, the company surpassed $1 million in pre-orders, selling 10,000 licenses before the platform was made publicly available.[4][5]
Fundraising
In November 2016, PageCloud closed a $4 million Series A round, bringing the company's funding total to about $8.5 million. The company has grown to have over 15,000 paying users from 130 countries.[6]
