| Self-destructing and encrypted messaging app Wickr raised $30 million in Series B funding, the company is announcing today, in a round led by Jim Breyer, founder and CEO of Breyer Capital, with participation from CME Group and Wargaming. Breyer will now join the company’s board. The new round comes on the heels of Wickr’s $9 million Series A announced earlier this year.
The app was created by CEO Nico Sell, also longtime organizer of the DEF CON security conference, as a tool that allows senders and receivers to communicate privately. Only the receiver is able to decrypt the message after it’s sent, as the company itself does not hold the decryption keys. |
