The round was led by Third Point Ventures, with participation from existing investors August Capital, Data Collective (DCVC), First Round Capital, and Engineering Capital, and new investors Glynn Capital and David Ulevitch.
The company intends to use the funds to increase headcount in the next year in sales, systems engineering, marketing, software development and operations, to accelerate product capabilities and expand market reach.
