“Density’s turbo-charged growth over the last 18 months speaks to the immense value this remarkable technology is driving for customers as they navigate this period of rapid change,” said Kevin Krantz, chief revenue officer of Density. “I’m excited to join this pragmatic, passionate team to continue defining a new and much-needed category in the market.”
Demand for Density’s sensors has skyrocketed during the pandemic — within the first 75 days, the company outpaced its entire 2019 book of sales and increased production of its sensors by 90%. Following this rapid growth, Density raised $51M in a Series C in July 2020 and added $25M more this past April, reaching over $100M in overall funding from backers including Kleiner Perkins, Joanna Coles, Alex Rodriguez, A01 Advisors, and Founders Fund, among others.
Krantz will oversee Sales and Partner Success, overseeing new customer acquisitions and expansion of existing customer value.
