Firstbase, an Aberdeen, Scotland, UK and NYC-based provider of remote infrastructure for global teams, raised $13m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from B Capital Group, and Alpaca VC. This follows a $2m seed funding led by Alpaca in August 2020 with participation from Acceleprise, Remote First Capital and Backend Capital. In conjunction with the funding, Andreessen Horowitz’s David Ulevitch joined Firstbase’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth plans through hiring, product development and increased customer deployment.
