Arbolus secures $15m Series A funding led by Element Ventures to expand its knowledge-sharing platform
Element Ventures led the Series A round with participation from Fuel Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank.
Arbolus operates an expert insights platform that provides investors and consultants with research and diligence tools. The firm offers products including asynchronous video questions and proprietary B2B customer databases.
Arbolus has secured $15m in Series A funding led by Element Ventures, with participation from existing backer Fuel Ventures and debt financing from Silicon Valley Bank. The company plans to deploy the fresh capital to support product development and address growing customer demand following a period of rapid expansion that saw its headcount reach 100 and operations extend into the US, Spain and India.
Founded in 2018, the business digitalises the expert knowledge industry by connecting organisations with professionals through advanced machine learning tools. The fresh injection follows a twelve-month period in which Arbolus tripled its revenue and scaled its global footprint.
From the founder
"The traditional model for knowledge sharing lacks innovation and is cost prohibitive to scale. At Arbolus we’re building a platform that breaks that framework and gives professionals more autonomy. We are driven by the mission of making the world’s offline knowledge digitally accessible to a much wider customer base. We want to index the world’s human knowledge and make that widely searchable for the first time"
Sam Glasswell
CEO and co-founder at Arbolus
Investor perspective
"Arbolus are successfully disrupting one of the largest remaining analogue markets. The early client validation has been nothing short of exceptional. The vision, credibility, expertise and passion provided by founders Sam and Will was compelling from our first meeting."
