- LucidLink recently announced it raised $20 million in Series B funding. These are the details.
LucidLink – an innovative SaaS solution connecting creative teams around the world – recently announced it has raised $20 million in funding from investors in its Series B funding round. The new capital funding round was led by Headline’s Global Growth strategy in collaboration with existing investors Baseline Ventures and Bright Cap Ventures and new investor Top Tier Capital Partners. LucidLink has raised $40 million to date.
The latest funding round comes after a year of notable success for LucidLink that includes sustained 12% month-over-month growth resulting in over 400% revenue increase, 154% net customer retention, and a doubling of its workforce. And during this period, LucidLink also benefited from a 400% increase in storage capacity.
The strong performance of LucidLink to date reflects a strong product-market fit and a wide technical lead in the cloud-native remote collaboration space. And the $20 million investment will fuel a number of growth priorities for LucidLink, including the expansion of sales, marketing, and development teams.
