"We're not looking for Series A, we're looking for Series Awesome," OnSwipe cofounder Jason Baptiste announced at TechStars NYC in April.
Today OnSwipe announced that it has raised $5 million. Investors include Yuri Milner, Lerer Ventures, Betaworks, and SV Angel.
OnSwipe is a platform that makes it easy for publishers to create an app-like mobile and tablet experience in under three minutes.
Essentially, OnSwipe wants to kill apps. But Steve Jobs is a big fish to fry. We asked Baptiste how he thinks Jobs will feel about his ambition.
"I actually think Apple loves what we're up to since we provide a great experience for iPad users," says Baptiste. "Their goal isn't to sell apps, but to sell iPads. If the publications we power let that happen, then we're on the same page."
"People always say, 'Oh, Steve Jobs is gonna want to kill you.' I say, 'Actually, if anything he'll give me a hug or a fist pound. Steve and I are bros!"
