SolidFire Closes First Funding Round

SolidFire, an Atlanta, GA-based start up that has developed a cloud computing storage platform, has closed its first round of venture capital funding led by Valhalla Partners and Novak Biddle Venture Partners.
In conjunction with the funding, of undisclosed amount, Valhalla General Partner Charles Curran, and Novak Biddle General Partner Phil Bronner, will join the company’s board of directors.
In addition, Atlanta entrepreneur and former Turner Broadcasting executive Greg Foster has joined the SolidFire’s board of advisors.
