Didn't these guys just close a $30 mil funding round (putting them at ~ $1.2b valuation now?)

danbmil99 Nov 10, 2024 View on HN

Not $30M, they raised $400M, and I'm sure if their stuff works and gets adoption they can raise more

Any idea how much funding these guys got? They seem to be doing well.

dustingetz Sep 16, 2023 View on HN

$150M and slowing growth isn’t even a unicorn. 1.4B raised, founded in 2013

LeanderK May 9, 2024 View on HN

can you expand? Who got 1bn of funding?

namityadav Jul 1, 2011 View on HN

They're raising $1B .. their valuation is going to be in $15B - $20B range

uptown Nov 1, 2013 View on HN

Let me guess - raising funds at a 7 billion dollar valuation?

keeptrying Nov 29, 2018 View on HN

To nab a $1.5B valuation you sometimes have to raise $50M

Scarbutt Oct 21, 2020 View on HN

Might be niche but they raise $200 million, four times what Pitch raised.

Didn't they just raise a series A like 5 minutes ago? Burned through the 20 mil already? Sounds very promising
