Optimove, a Tel Aviv, Israel–based customer marketing cloud, raised $20m in growth funding.
The round was led by Israel Growth Partners, a private equity investment firm that focuses on later stage investments. As part of the financing, Israel Growth Partners’ Moshe Lichtman will join Optimove’s board of directors.
The company intends to use the funds to grow its R&D and grow sales and marketing organization, and to hire in the US market, especially for the company’s recently opened New York office.
