Hopin, a London, UK-based virtual and hybrid experiences platform, received an investment from LinkedIn via a Series C secondary round.
Hopin and LinkedIn plan to collaborate to create new opportunities for event organizers.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed. This follows Hopin’s $400m in Series C funding round in March 2021 co-led by new investors Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst, and existing investor IVP, with participation from returning investors Coatue, DFJ Growth, Northzone, Salesforce Ventures and Tiger Global. Previously, Hopin raised $125m Series B in funding announced in November 2020. Since February of last year, Hopin has raised more than $565m.
The company will use this capital to continue investing in the development of its platform technologies in areas such as video and mobile.
