The funding round was also joined by all the investors from previous rounds, who maintained their stake. These existing investors include Google’s AI fund, Gradient Ventures, Saban Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and Headline Ventures. Among Mine’s 150 customers are Reddit, HelloFresh SE, Fender, Guesty, Snappy, and Data.ai.
"The funding was completed in the second week of October, a week after the outbreak of the war," said Mine CEO Gal Ringel. "Despite the difficult situation in the financial markets, since March last year, we have managed the company in a very careful and disciplined way while reducing monthly expenditure as well as significantly increasing revenue to a rate of millions of dollars in ARR (4x growth in 2023), which has allowed us to reach extraordinary metrics that have interested many investors. We are happy to power hundreds of companies worldwide with automated mapping of all the systems and data used by their organization and ensuring they meet the different data governance standards and privacy regulations."
The capital raised will provide for the company’s needs in the coming years and assist in the global expansion efforts of the company’s MineOS B2B platform both into the U.S. and into the enterprise segment. The company is preparing to hire dozens of developers and QA and ML professionals in Israel.
