CloudWorx Pvt Technologies. Ltd, an Internet of Things ( IoT) no-code platform and smart home companies, has received seed funding from a clutch of investors, said chief executive Yuvraj Tomar.
Tomar said CloudWorx received seed funding for tech startups from angel investment company LetsVenture, angel network Faad Network, and AppyHigh Technology LLP. He had not disclosed the financial details.
The company will use the funds to build up its team and launch its consumer product by the end of the year, he said.
Tomar launched the startup last December along with CloudWorx’s Chief Technology Officer Pushpahas Bettad and the Chief Business Officer Dinesh Mohan Prasad.
The company’s Autocode software, which lets users build and publish applications, games, and servers without any code writing, is at a beta level. Yet it also has a number of companies as paying clients, including one in the US.
It also plans to use the funds to get into the European Union and the US.
This isn’t the first attempt at entrepreneurship for Tomar. He had founded Thinqbot Technologies Pvt earlier. Ltd., manufacturer of a home automation solution. A graduate of the Chandigarh Punjab Engineering College, he had previously worked with companies including Wipro, Google, and Cisco.
Bettad, a graduate of Thinqbot ‘s National Institute of Engineering, Mysore, was previously named cloud engineer at Thinqbot and worked with Wipro before. Prior to that, Prasad was head of apps for India and South Asia at Qualcomm. He has also been an active investor and consultant to businesses and startups, Tomar said.
