Cofounders, Canary

Last fall, smart home security system startup Canary garnered $1.96 million during its IndieGogo campaign — 1,962% of its initial $100,000 goal — in crowdfunded money from 7,400 backers. It's like Dropcam, a company Google acquired for $500 million, except the camera goes above your frontdoor and strives to detect strange movements and potential break-ins.

In March, Canary raised $10 million in a Series A round of funding from Khosla Ventures, Bobby Yazdani, and Two Sigma Ventures. Canary will soon deliver its product to its Indiegogo backers.
