Round
Series C
Proceeds Purpose
With this cash, Pivotal could expand its product development, hire engineers and developers and move into foreign markets. Cook was pretty closed-mouthed about details, saying that it was likely the company would expand beyond the 2000 employees it currently has, but just how many that would involve in the coming year or so and how it would be distributed among various departments and offices, he wasn't willing to say. $400,000,00 of the transaction amount is per SEC regulatory filing and represents a conversion from debt to equity by investor EMC.
