Trustpilot, an independent platform for companies to build trust with consumers, raised $55m in Series E equity funding.
The round was led by Sunley House Capital Management, an affiliate of global private equity firm Advent International, with participation from existing shareholders Vitruvian Partners, Draper Esprit, Index Ventures, Northzone and Seed Capital. In conjunction with the funding, Mohammed Anjarwala, a Managing Director at Sunley House Capital Management, will join the Board of Directors at Trustpilot.
