Mention Me, a London, UK-based customer advocacy platform, raised $25m in Series B funding.
The round was led by Octopus Ventures with participation from Eight Roads Ventures. In conjunction with the funding, Octopus Ventures Principal Uthish Ranjan, will join Mention Me’s board.
The company intends to use the funds to expand into the US, investing in its partner network (which includes Klaviyo, TrustPilot, Ometria and SAP), develop its product offering and grow the team following a series of senior hires.
