- Storyblok recently announced it raised $47 million in funding. These are the details.
Storyblok, an enterprise headless content management system (CMS) that enables developers and marketers for delivering powerful content experiences on any digital platform, announced the closing of its $47 million Series B financing, led by Mubadala Capital and HV Capital and joined by existing investors 3VC and firstminute capital. Storyblok had previously raised $11 million.
After the company’s last funding round in February 2021, Storyblok has increased the size of its team by 500% across 38 countries and more than doubled its users, projects, and agency partners. And the new funding round will further accelerate product innovation, growth into the U.S. and Europe—as well as an expansion into APAC—and growth of the ecosystem of partners and apps.
Founded by Dominik Angerer and Alexander Feiglstorfer in 2017 during their time working at a web development agency, the company was inspired by their frustrating experience with traditional content management systems and their inability to find a system that would be a good fit for both developers and content editors. And Storyblok is currently used by 74,000 developers and marketers from 130+ countries, building 120,000 projects. Leading brands like Adidas, Renault, and Marc O’Polo use Storyblok to organize content and tell better stories globally and instantaneously on all channels.
Headless CMS represents the next generation of content management systems, which promises a significantly higher degree of flexibility. And Storyblok is the only headless CMS built for developers and marketers from the very beginning.
The upcoming launch of the all-new Storyblok CMS will bring enhancements to digital asset management, visual editing, and real-time collaboration that further harmonize content operations across all teams. And these updates make it even easier for enterprises to have full control of their content in a world where it needs to be everywhere at the same time: websites, mobile, IoT, the metaverse, and beyond.
