“Our company is growing incredibly quickly and we’re looking forward to further scaling our team across almost every dimension … We’ve been lucky enough to power customer experiences for some of the world’s best brands. This next phase is all about continuing to scale our business while staying true to the values and vision that got us here.”

A spokesperson for the company said that with this fresh investment, it will be “focusing specifically on expanding [its] data science offering” by growing its team of experts.
