The round was led by Tiger Global, with participation from 8VC, Tishman Speyer, Jerry Yang, Michael Ovitz, DST, LeFrak, and Kevin Hartz.
The company intends to use the funds to recruit talent for its engineering, sales, customer success, marketing, product, and design teams and conduct research and development to expand into other trade verticals.
