The round was led by new investor SF Capital Group with participation from existing investors Emerald Development Managers and RRE Ventures. In conjunction with the funding, Neil Wolfson, president of SF Capital Group, joined DriverUp’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate product development, support added marketplace loan inventory and ramp up marketing efforts.
