Tile, a San Mateo, CA-based smart location company, completed a $25m Series B-1 round of financing.
The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from existing investors including GGV Capital and Khosla Ventures, as well as new investor Lead Edge Capital.
The company, which has secured $59m in total funding to date, intends to use the capital to accelerate growth by establishing its brand, expanding its strategy, and growing the community.
Led by Mike Farley, CEO and Co-Founder, and recently hired Simon Fleming-Wood, CMO, Ravi Adusumilli, VP of Strategic Partnerships, and Vijay Shankar, VP of Product, Tile provides smart location tags, devices network and a mobile app that work together to enable people to locate the things that matter to them most.
