Collanos Collaboration Company Raising Series A Round

Collanos, a Swiss/US startup that runs a workplace collaboration platform, sent us the news that it is raising a €3M Series A round, beginning with an investment by Zürcher Kantonalbank.

The company was founded in late 2003 and has raised between $2M and $3M to date, the firm's CEO Peter Helfenstein told the alarm:clock euro.

Collanos Workplace is currently preparing for the release of version 1.3. "It will have a new replication algorithm making team synchronization much more efficient and changes much more available to other team members," he explained.

It is the foundation for upcoming premium services, such as Collanos Permanent Peers (available end of Q2) via Collanos' partners like Translumina Networks, and Collanos Phone premium to launch at end of Q1.

Helfenstein said a roster of 15 people are working for Collanos, some part time or subcontracted, in Switzerland (Zurich), in the U.S. (San Francisco, Provo/Utah, Ukraine (Kharkov) and India (Hyderabad).

Since the launch of version 1.1 Collanos in mid-May 2007, about 10’000 users are registered.
