Intel Capital Invests $15 Million In Caring.com, SmartZip And Virtustream
Caring.com is an informational site for family caregivers seeking more information about eldercare. Its content includes articles, advice from experts, a community of caregivers and a comprehensive directory of eldercare services. Caring.com plans to use the funding towards building a local eldercare services directory and new marketing programs.
Real estate analytics focused startup SmartZip Analytics offers independent investment ratings and analysis on over 70 million U.S. residential properties. The site is used to find and compare properties to buy. Virtualization startup Virtustream provides strategy, integration and managed services utilizing virtualization technologies, and xStream, the company’s cloud platform.
The investments were part of Intel’s recently announced $200 million Intel Capital Invest in America Technology Fund, aimed to support investment in U.S.-based startups. Intel Capital has also made investments earlier this year in educational gaming company Tabula Digita, Carrier Ethernet solutions provider Overture Networks and advertising technology company BlackArrow.
