Sprinklr, a NYC-based Customer Experience Management (CXM) platform for modern enterprises, raised $350m.
The round valued the company at $2.7 billion.
The funds ($200m) came from Hellman & Friedman (H&F) while an additional $150m in convertible securities came from Sixth Street Growth, the growth investment arm of Sixth Street. The investment from H&F is expected to close in October following regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Sprinklr will use the funds to continue to expand operations and its business reach.
Founded in 2009 and led by Ragy Thomas, CEO, Sprinklr provides a platform which empowers every customer-facing team with the capabilities they need to serve connected customers, and enable the entire front office to work together and deliver a more unified customer experience.
