Mark43 (FKA Nucleik), a Boston, MA-based provider of law enforcement information management software, closed a $1.95m seed funding.
Backers included Spark Capital, General Catalyst, Lowercase Capital, SV Angel, Launchpad LA, Rough Draft Ventures, Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann and others.
The company intends to use the funds for product expansion.
Founded by three Harvard College graduates Scott Crouch (CEO), Florian Mayr and Matthew Polega, Mark43 provides an information management platform that enables law enforcement departments to share data across them nationally.
For the last eight months, the Massachusetts State Police Special Projects Team in Springfield, MA has used the company’s software – which collects intelligence and perform social network analysis – to help combat violent gangs, drug dealing, and standard offenses.
Mark43 recently won the $70,000 grand prize in the Harvard University President’s Challenge.
