Insider, a New York-based marketing platform specializing in delivering personalized and cross-channel customer experiences, has announced an investment of up to $105 million.
The funding comes from existing investors, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), and Esas Private Equity, bringing Insider's total funding amount to $274 million.
The investment will be used to fuel Insider's merger and acquisition (M&A) strategy, enabling the company to enhance its technology and capabilities further. This report provides an overview of Insider's recent investment, growth, and expansion plans.
Insider CEO and Co-Founder, Hande Cilingir, explains, “At Insider, we have successfully achieved hyper-growth via organic means, until now. Now, we are looking to achieve unparalleled levels of growth with an M&A-focused strategy. These funds will be used exclusively for the purpose of acquiring exceptional product companies, to further complement our technology and create product synergies. Unlike our $121 million Series D investment in 2022, which has bolstered our capital reserves for operational spending in the coming years, this latest round will specifically serve to fuel inorganic growth through M&A.”
