Salesforce itself bought a mobile authentication startup Toopher earlier this year . The enterprise-software heavyweight has been gradually expanding its feature set. Last year Salesforce introduced the Wave cloud-based analytics app. That’s still a new market for Salesforce, which is better known for customer relationship management, service desk, and marketing automation software.

In 2013 the startup announced a $10 million funding round. Investors include Eniac Ventures, Golden Venture Partners, Horizon Ventures, Mayfield Fund, Miramar Venture Partners, Qualcomm Ventures, Relay Ventures, Seavest Capital Partners, Sierra Ventures, SingTel Innov8, and SRI International.
