Session on a surge
SessionM was co-founded by Lars Albright, formally of the now Apple-owned Quattro Wireless (now iAd), back in May 2011. Also on board from day one were CPO Mark Hermann and CTO Scott Weller.
The company closed a previous $6.5 million-strong investment round to coincide with its launch, with Albright claiming investors were keen to "get in on the ground floor of something big".
Currently, SessionM is looking to expand its 35 strong team to 60 within the next year.
