Inboard Finds $8M For Electric Skateboards

Santa Cruz-based Inboard Technology, a developer of a battery powered, electric skateboard, has raised $8M in its Series A funding, the company announced this morning. The funding was led by Upfront Ventures, and also included LION Smart and Sunstone Capital. The company was seeded by Sweet Capital, the investment fund of the founders of King Digital Entertainment (the makers of Candy Crush). Inboard's M1 skateboard is available at Best Buy, and includes a hot-swappable battery and dual in-wheel motors.
