Learn More Startup Capriza scores $27M to Zapp legacy apps into mobile ones Capriza, a startup that helps enterprises convert their legacy apps into mobile- and cloud-based ones, Thursday announced it has racked up an additional $27 million in venture funding.

The Palo Alto firm, which started in 2011 and now employs an engineering-heavy staff of about 60 people, has raised a total of $50 million. The latest funding comes courtesy of existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Charles River Ventures, with Tenaya Capital now joining the party as well.
