Malaysian commerce platform respond.io announced raising $7 million in a Series A funding round anchored by early-stage venture investor Headline.
The startup, which enables messages from any channel to be responded from one centralised dashboard, added that the funding round was also backed by AltaIR Capital, Smart Partnership Capital, Sterling Oak Group, and Calendula Ventures.
respond.io claims that more than 10,000 companies from 86 countries are now using its platform. The fresh funding will be used to continue its push into large enterprises and expand its presence in the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America.
“We’ve built a platform that enables multi-national brands to deploy that highly innovative strategy at a scale of a million conversations per day across dozens of teams,” said respond.io CEO Gerardo Salandra.
The startup was launched in 2017 by Salandra, Hassan Ahmed, and Iaroslav Kudritskiy as an omnichannel messaging inbox.
