Enterproid

Divide provides a workspace container that encrypts business data and applications and keeps them separate from personal data on an employee's mobile device. Enterproid was one of the first companies to introduce a dual-persona approach for enterprise mobility management and BYOD. Separating a device into two personas allows companies to protect only the business apps and data without having to manage or restrict the personal use of the device ^[1] Divide, which also includes a number of business apps for email, calendar and contacts, is available for both iOS and Android devices.^{[citation needed]}

Enterproid was founded in 2010 by former Morgan Stanley mobile security and IT executives.^[2] The founding team includes CEO Andrew Toy, COO Alexander Trewby and CTO David Zhu. The company, which debuted Divide at the Demo Spring 2011 conference,^[3] established a headquarters in New York with offices in London and Hong Kong.

On May 20, 2014, the company was acquired by Google. Following the acquisition, Divide became Android for Work.^[4]

In October 2013, Enterproid rebranded as Divide and announced closing a $12M funding round led by Google Ventures.^[5] The company raised $25 million,^{[citation needed]} including an $11 million series A round in June 2011 from Google Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures and Comcast Ventures.^[6] It raised a $2 million seed round from Genacast Ventures, NYC, High Peaks Venture Partners and BOLDstart Ventures in October 2010.^[7]
