“Metaforic is in a hot market, with limited competition, and a patent-protected technology that has now proven itself in the field,” said Dan Stickel, Metaforic CEO. “We were fortunate to be able to raise more money than we originally sought, and to be able to add another high-quality venture firm to our investor group. All of our original investors participated in this round as well.”

Metaforic sells its software protection technology to variety of industries around the world, ranging from consumer devices to business software to infrastructure providers.

Customers use this technology to protect themselves from piracy and to ensure proper operation of their software in their own customer deployments.

Previously named by Network World as one of the top 10 security software companies to watch, Metaforic was also selected as a semi-finalist in the Global Security Challenge (GSC). The GSC is a worldwide organization which runs an international business competition to find and select the most promising security startups.
