Backers included Gate 93 Ventures, Banc Sabadell BStartup fund, Alfonso Rodés, and Zarranz Group. In conjunction with the funding, Laura Gonzalez-Estéfani, founder of The Venture City and former director of Facebook, and Sebastien Lefebvre, former director of growth at Twitter, joined Vitcord’s Board.
