The round was led by Scout Ventures and joined by Seldor Capital, 2 Future Holding, The Veteran Fund, Irongate Capital, Atypical Ventures, and KittyHawk Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its growth and expand its offerings to meet the needs of its clients around the world.
