Shabodi Raises $3M+ in Seed Funding to Monetize Enterprise Investments in Private 5G Networks

Shabodi, the next-gen 5G application enabler, announced that it has raised more than US$3.3M in an oversubscribed seed round to help enterprises, system integrators, and telcos accelerate the development and deployment of next-gen applications on 5G. This is a mission-critical value for enterprises to monetize their 5G deployments, accelerate ROI, unlocking the full potential of 5G and Industry 4.0 applications.

The Toronto-based company, backed by lead seed investor Blumberg Capital, was founded by Vikram Chopra, startup veteran, and Harpreet Geekee, former CTO at Cisco and Juniper Networks. Counterview Capital, SineWave Ventures, Shasta Ventures, MAVA Ventures, Green Egg Ventures, Maccabee Ventures, CEAS Investments, Supernode Ventures, and Lorimer Ventures also participated in the seed round. This momentum builds on Shabodi’s pre-seed funding earlier this year led by Forum Ventures and former Cisco and Yahoo executives.
