Michael Jordan is one of several individual investors and venture capital firms that recently invested in the Series B round for Gigster, a platform that connects companies with freelance software developers and engineers for project-based hires, according to an announcement.
Redpoint Ventures led the round with contributions from VC firms Andreesen Horowitz and Y Combinator, but Jordan joined Marc Benioff and Adam D’Angelo as new investors in Gigster, which was founded in 2013.
In total, the contributions from individuals and firms totaled $20 million and put Gigster’s total funding between Series A and Series B at $32 million, according to Forbes, which also has Gigster listed as one of its 2016 Next Billion-Dollar Startups.
