South Boston iPhone application developer Apperian Inc. reports it has landed $1 million in its first venture funding round, led by CommonAngels.
As part of the Series A investment, CommonAngels will put Maia Heymann and Peter McKay on the board of Apperian, where they will join chairman Vinit Nijhawan as directors. Apperian develops white-label iPhone applications for large companies.
CEO Chuck Goldman is a former director of professional services at Apple Inc. He founded the company almost immediately after leaving Apple on Jan. 7.
In addition to developing enterprise-level iPhone apps, Apperian is dedicated to fostering more development in the field, and has created an incubator program that launched last month with its first few developers. Apperian will give them space, and access to its senior engineers for between three and six months, then hope they make it as a spinout on their own.
James Geshwiler, managing director of CommonAngels, said that the organization was impressed by the team at Apperian, and the possibilities for its applications.
