Well done @amiruci and @basetenco team!
We closed our series D at $2.1b. It happened 8 months after our series C, which seems too fast until you consider the facts: 2-years worth of growth in 8 months, virtually 0 customer churn, healthy margins, and QoQ NDR numbers that are considered top-tier YoY. The market demand…
