Notion leads $2.4m round for Wercker

Seattle-based firm Tola Capital took part in the funding round, alongside the company's existing investors, namely Dutch angel syndicate Vitulum Ventures, Shamrock Ventures and Amsterdam-based Rockstart Accelerator.

The fresh funding will be used by Wercker to continue its current international expansion efforts.

The company recently announced that OpenStack co-founder Andy Smith had joined its team as CTO.

Previous funding
In January 2013, Wercker secured seed funding in a round led by Shamrock with participation from Vitulum and Greylock Partners.

The company took part in Rockstart's start-up incubator programme in 2012.

Company
Founded in 2012, Wercker is headquartered in Amsterdam with a recently opened US base in San Francisco. The company has developed a continuous delivery platform for developers, designed to help developers test and deploy code often in a more efficient and less wasteful manner.

The company employs 10 staff, though it plans on growing its work force this year.
