Trov, a company that's helping people easily organize, value and protect the things they own, closed a financing round of $6.5M, bringing its total funding to $13.3M.

'With this capital, we can accelerate the development of technology that will help people take advantage of the information about their things, eventually connecting them to a whole new way to insure,' said Scott Walchek, Founder and CEO of Trov.

In addition to the financing, the company strengthened its board of directors with the addition of Ken Rudin, Director of Analytics at Facebook, and Sean Park, founder of the Anthemis Group, a venture investment firm headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, which led the round.

'By connecting people to the information about their things and surfacing valuable ways for them to use that data, I think Trov is going to become a 'must-have' lifestyle app,' said Ken Rudin, Director of Analytics at Facebook. 'I'm genuinely excited to help them grow.'

'Trov is a tremendous addition to our global portfolio of disruptive, digitally-native financial services companies,' said Sean Park, founder and chairman of Anthemis Group. 'We believe Trov's impact in the insurance sector will be significant, driving fundamentally new business models and underwriting approaches based on contextually rich data about personal possessions.'

Trov is currently in public beta and is available for free on iPhone in the US and Australia. You can download Trov on the App Store or visit trov.com to be notified of the Android version when it becomes available later this quarter.
