Initial seed funding came from angel investors and Finnvera Venture Capital in December 2012.[3][4] By 2013, Bitbar was reported to have offices in San Francisco, Helsinki and in Wrocław.[5] An investment of US$3 million was announced in April 2013, from Creathor Ventures, DFJ Esprit, Finnvera Venture Capital, Finland's TEKES and Qualcomm.[6][7] Investors were quoted as being attracted because customers already included Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flipboard, Pinterest, and eBay.[8]
