\"Richard<\/a>Richard Mandeberg of GroundCntrl announced that they raised $1 million in funding.<\/a>\u00a0GroundCntrl is a combination of a software as a service and a mobile app that organizes tasks and employee-incentive programs. It\u2019s specifically aimed at companies with a \u201cmobile workforce,\u201d businesses that have workers spread out and not necessarily in an office. An example could be a canvassing business, such as the environmental folks you see on the sidewalks asking for a moment of your time.<\/p>\n
