Our focus remains on three main priorities: keeping the Segment team and families safe, helping contain the spread of COVID-19, and supporting our customers who depend on Segment. Here are the measures we’ve implemented toward these priorities.
We’re excited to share some big news – Segment has raised $175 million in Series D funding led by Accel, GV and Meritech Capital. Thrive Capital, Y Combinator Continuity, eVentures and Sapphire Ventures also joined the round. This is a huge milestone for our team as we continue to build the complete customer data infrastructure for businesses anywhere. The funding will allow us to continue to hire the best and brightest talent, accelerate Segment’s global expansion, fuel deeper collaboration with our partners and customers, and invest in further developments to bring Customer Data Infrastructure to the market so that every company can deliver customer experiences that respect preferences and privacy.
We’re excited to share that Segment has raised $64 million in Series C funding, led by Y Combinator Continuity and joined by GV. Our existing investors at Accel, Thrive, NEA, and Ron Conway’s SV Angel also participated. We’re also thrilled to welcome Ali Rowghani, CEO of YC Continuity, to our board of directors. Ali helped build two iconic Silicon Valley companies — at Pixar as CFO and SVP of Strategic Planning, and at Twitter, as CFO then COO. There’s so much we can learn from him and we’re excited to continue building Segment with guidance from him and our other board members, Vas Natarajan from Accel and Will Gaybrick from Stripe (previously lead investor at Thrive.) Every round of funding has allowed us to grow the customer base that we serve, and invest in new parts of our core product and platform (more on this soon.) This funding is no different, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s coming down the pike on product.
