Born in 2010 as a project by co-founder Bernard Liautaud as Paris engineering school Ecole Centrale de Paris, Dashlane has grown to a service with more than 2 million users, &#8220;[enabling] over $1 billion in e-commerce transactions,&#8221; as the company points out in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dashlane.com\/blog\/security\/press-release-dashlane-closes-largest-funding-ever-password-identity-management-22m-series-b-led-bessemer-venture-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement about the fundraising<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sitting Across the table from Bernard Liautaud: CEO, Board Member &amp; Investor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2013\/09\/23\/sitting-across-the-table-from-bernard-liautaud-ceo-board-member-parner-investor\/\">[INTERVIEW] Bernard Liautaud: CEO, Board Member &amp; Investor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Dashlane battles with players like <a href=\"http:\/\/agilebits.com\/onepassword\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1Password<\/a>, their $100 Million+ valuation beckons the question of where the company will go. Their &#8220;universal ID&#8221; (users sign in via Dashlane across multiples services on multiple platforms) may be of use to larger players, though the biggest ones &#8211; Google, Microsoft, Facebook, &#8230; &#8211; already have their own Universal ID, while Apple offers its cloud keychain services across all Apple products.<\/p>\n<p>One such explanation may be that user retention on Dashlane is particularly strong; after all, once you&#8217;ve allowed Dashlane to manage, and even choose, your passwords, are you really going to leave the service and re-memorize (or learn for the first time) passwords to dozens and potentially hundreds of services.<\/p>\n<p>Having recently investigated Dashlane for our own purposes internally, I was a bit disappointed with Dashlane&#8217;s enterprise offer (especially in comparison to 1Password), so I&#8217;m hoping that they will develop a stronger enterprise offer to allow companies to manage access to various services.<\/p>\n<p>Dashlane has now raised a total of $30 Million, with previous investors including\u00a0Rho Ventures\u00a0and\u00a0FirstMark Capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris- and New York-based Dashlane has raised $22 Million from Bessemer Venture Partners as well as existing investors for their password protection solution, the company announced this week.
