Mountain View, California, March, 1999 - Perfecto, the lone pioneer
in eBusiness application security, announced it has successfully
secured an additional $6 million during its second round of financing.
Sequoia Capital led the round and is the new addition to Perfecto`s
growing list of enthusiastic backers, which includes Intel, Timark,
Walden Group and Mofet.
Pierre Lamond, a senior Sequoia executive who focuses on semiconductor, communications and software investments on the company`s behalf, joined Perfecto`s Board of Directors as part of the financing venture. Mr. Lamond brings years of experience and expertise to Perfecto, serving as Chairman of the Board and board member of several prominent companies in the aforementioned fields. Before joining Sequoia in 1981, Lamond was a founder and Technical Director of National Semiconductor and the General Manager of Fairchild`s Integrated Circuit Division.
"Relying on its vast expertise in the area of Internet security,
Perfecto is the first company to identify the lack of application
security as a fundamental hurdle for eBusiness to reach its full
potential" commented Mr. Lamond. "Perfecto`s first of its
kind solution, is a must-have product for any company seriously
engaged in eBusiness".
"We are very excited to have a firm of Sequoia Capital`s caliber join us in our effort to bridge the eBusiness trust gap" added Eran
Reshef, Founder of Perfecto and Vice President. "Mr. Lamond`s immense industry knowledge and experience offers our company true value as we embark on introducing our product family to the market".
