Toitware secured seed capital in an investment round including Creandum.

Toitware, an Aarhus, Denmark-based startup working on a general-purpose computing platform for IoT devices, announced that it raised DKK 23M ($3.5M) in seed capital.

The money was provided by the Swedish venture capital company Creandum.

Toitware, founded in 2017 by CEO Kasper Lund and Lars Bak, builds a new programming language which aims to become a platform for Internet of Things devices with an eye towards security and automatic update. Toitware lets you build software for IoT that runs inside a virtual machine on your IoT device, similar to how JavaScript runs inside V8. This has the benefit that the code is contained from the rest of the software: if your code crashes, the device, and any other code, keeps running. It also lets you run multiple applications on the same device: apps for your appliances.
