Folsom startup Freepath has closed a $1.5 million Series A round led by Folsom’s Velocity Venture Capital. Local investors Strategis Early Ventures, Sacramento Angels, and Sierra Angels also participated in the round.

Freepath creates presentation software designed to make it easier to incorporate multimedia, web content, and local documents into presentations. The technology grew out of software that allows churches to present rich media, sermon notes, and song lyrics to their audiences.

Freepath is led by CEO John Stone, a co-founder of Powerschool who remained at Apple as a Vice President after Apple’s acquisition of Powerschool. He joined Freepath after the founders pitched him as a prospective angel investor. “[I] became so excited about the technology and market opportunity that I joined the team,” he says.
