The company last raised its $35 million Series C in January 2018. It raised a $6.7 million Series A in July 2016, and a $15.4 million Series B in April 2017, according to Crunchbase.
TechCrunch also reported in December that the company was quietly raising money. Filings showed that the company was raising $27.4 million and $76.4 million in 2018, in addition to its Series C.
