Appvance, Inc., a leader in mobile/social app performance validation, announced it has closed its first ever outside round of financing. The $1.05M round was led by Staenberg Ventures, Social Internet Fund and FundersClub.

"The company has been expanding the depth and breadth of our offerings to the enterprise," said Kevin Surace, Appvance CEO. "Unlike free testing tools out there, we are wholly dedicated to meeting the needs of large customers. The rapid adoption of our platform in Fortune 1000 accounts is a testament to our dedication to the needs of developers, IT, and brand managers. This first-ever investment will help us grow our features and support further to meet their needs on a going forward basis."

In addition to validating Web, Mobile Web, HTML5, Ajax and RIA apps, Appvance Enterprise builds and runs test suites in a 100% graphical environment for SOAP and REST services for up to millions of concurrent requests. Customers by themselves, or alongside Appvance experts, may develop single tests and re-use them for functional, performance, and production monitoring. The company's deep expertise in complex performance bottlenecks makes Appvance Enterprise the platform of choice for companies whose brand depends on user engagement through modern apps.
