Apperian brings in $500K investment

By James M. Connolly

Mobile applications maker Apperian Inc. has received a $500,000 equity investment, according to the company.

Boston-based Apperian, which builds Apple Inc. iPhone apps for enterprises, had previously reported a $1 million funding led by CommonAngels in July 2009.

The latest funding is an extension of the original, Series A, CommonAngels investment, according to CEO David Patrick. The company lists officers and directors, including entrepreneurs Vinit Nijhawan and Peter McKay and CommonAngels’ Maia Heymann. Patrick said the new funds will be used to launch Appearian’s new management platform for mobile devices, starting with the iPhone and iPad platforms and later bringing in other device types.

In September, the company named David Patrick as CEO. Patrick had been CEO of database virtualization company xkoto, which was acquired by Teradata, and previously had been vice president of Novell Inc., managing the SUSE Linux and Netware operating system product lines. With Patrick’s arrival, Apperian founder and CEO Chuck Goldman took on the role of chief strategy officer.
