Bambuser, the company behind the professional b2b mobile live video platform Iris, today announces that it has received $1.5 million of investment to accelerate its expansion. This includes investment from Avicii Music AB, LMK Forward Ventures, Bluewise Ventures and Muirfield Ventures.
With mobile technology installed on over 60 million devices worldwide, Bambuser’s proven ability to grow and perform attracted high level of interest in this round of investment.
The investment will be used to fuel the company’s continued expansion, including the deployment of a dedicated sales team across key geographies, such as Europe and North America.

Thanks to our robust technology, smart design and end-to-end solution we aim to unlock that potential and become a technology leader by making mobile video livestreaming easily accessible to a greater number of people including organisations, and now, the developer community.’
