Last week identity validation startup, Finsphere, made two announcements:

• According to GeekWire, it has received $11.3 million in funding, which brings its total funding up to around $30 million:

“The company, led by wireless veteran Michael Buhrmann, has raised $11.3 million of a $15.4 million venture capital round, according to a SEC filing. It’s unclear whether a $3.95 million round raised in October is part of the new round.”

•  It added a board member from Vodafone Ventures:

“Tobin Ireland, Group Director of Commercial Development at Vodafone, joins the Finsphere Board of Directors. Also participating in the investment are existing Finsphere investors Mohr Davidow Ventures, Shasta Ventures, and Frazier Technology Ventures.”
