Philadelphia-based collaborative knowledge management platform Guru recently announced that it has raised $30mn in Series C funding round.
The round was led by Accel with participation from Emergence Capital, Thrive Capital, FirstMark Capital, Slack and Michael Dell’s MSD Capital.
According to Crunchbase, the recent fund infusion brings the company’s total raised to nearly $71mn. Earlier in December 2018, Thrive Capital had led its $25mn Series B funding.
With the new funds, the company plans to continue to expand operations and its business reach.
Guru CEO and co-founder Rick Nucci said, “Companies of every size and category are transitioning to remote work, changing their services to meet needs, and seeing sudden drops (or increases) in demand. Given recent events, we are increasing our commitment [to customers] to make sure that collaborative knowledge management feels easy and is attainable for all teams.”
“We think it is the next big thing in collaboration software,” said Accel Partner Miles Clements. “From our experience as early investors in Atlassian, Slack, Dropbox and other foundational productivity apps, we can see that Guru is the underlying thread that ties them all together.”
“In a COVID setting, Guru has proven to be ‘a major enabler’ of remote work,” he added.
Guru provides an empowerment network platform, which leverages AI to improve sales, support, and customer success teams by sharing and operationalizing knowledge. Some of Guru’s customers include Spotify, Slack, Sweetgreen, GitHub, Airtable, and Noom.
