"This A1 round, made by savvy investment veterans with strong industry credibility, validates Orabrush's platform as a rising consumer products player as well as a transformative social media company," said Jeff Davis, president and CEO of Orabrush. "This extremely smart money not only provides us the means to scale our online success with retailers globally; it also enables us to access and leverage the networks of both True Ventures and 2X Partners to scale our capabilities far beyond that of a small startup company."
