About
The startup already has more than 20,000 people using its platform, leaps ahead of the 8,000 waitlisted users it had when we first spoke to the company last May. Now with $10.5 million in Series A funding in the bank, Skiff’s co-founders Andrew Milich and Jason Ginsberg tell TechCrunch that the company is working towards becoming the “application layer for the decentralized web.”A Milich, the startup’s chief executive, said the round — led by Sequoia as a returning investor — will help the company build out those new products that also rely on end-to-end encryption, like communication. We wrote about Skiff last year ahead of its launch: Skiff is a web app that has much of the same document-writing and sharing capabilities as Google Docs but is built on a foundation of end-to-end encryption, so Skiff does not have access to users’ documents like Google does. Skiff currently has a team of 15 employees dotted across the globe, Milich said.
