"Warranty company Upsie has raised $5 million over the span of less than four months. Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm True Ventures led the funding round.

Based on the company’s reputation, Upsie founder and CEO Clarence Bethea expects True Ventures will also lend Upsie its resources and support.

'We’re thrilled to work with \[True Venture partner\] Puneet (Agarwal) and the True Ventures team,' says Bethea in a statement. 'Having a Silicon Valley firm invest in Minnesota sends a clear message that there is talent in the Midwest and we are building something special here.'"
