We are excited to announce True’s recent investment in file sharing company Kicksend.

Kicksend is the simplest way to send and share files online.  Users can simply log-in to their account on the web, mobile, or desktop application and then, using the drag and drop interface, can easily share files to others in real-time.

At True, we consider our best source of new deals to be Founders within the True Family and this investment is a great example of this belief at work.

We were originally introduced to Kicksend Founders Brendan and Pradeep by True Founders Jack Abraham of Milo and Hiten Shah of KISSmetrics.

Pradeep has previously worked for Hiten at KISSmterics as a consultant after the team had started to work on Kicksend.  As Pradeep and Brendan continued to work on Kicksend, Hiten continued to be a good resource and joined as an advisor to the company.

Similarly, Pradeep and Brendan met Jack Abraham through his Milo co-founder John Evans who hadoverlapped with Pradeep at a previous job.  Jack assisted the team with product and eventually committed to be the first angel investor into the round.

With Jack and Hiten both excited about the opportunity, we spent a bunch of time with Pradeep and Brendan discussing what they wanted to work on and committed to their roundjust after Y-Combinator Demo Day.

Our team loves the product and we’re super excited about the opportunity to work with Pradeep,Brendan, and the rest of the Kicksend team.

Congratulation Brendan and Pradeep! Thank you for your confidence in True and welcome to the Family!
