US- and India-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) and technology company TheCapitalNet, Inc. said it has raised $500,000 (Rs 3.4 crore) in seed funding.

The funding was raised from Lindwall Family Investments LLC (LFI), a Texas-based firm that has invested in segments including real estate, food and beverages and technology, TheCapitalNet said in a statement.

The proceeds will help the company expand geographically and strengthen its technology team, said Rakesh Bhatia, co-founder and CEO, TheCapitalNet.

The company was founded earlier this year by Bhatia, Manish Gupta, Vijaykanth VK and Sandeep Reddy Pallavolu.

Bhatia is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode, and has a work experience of 15 years, his LinkedIn profile shows. Pallavolu, who is chief product officer, is a graduate of the Kelly School of Business. He has earlier worked with Macquarie Group and Arka Mediaworks.
