The seed round was led by Nauta Capital to support platform enhancement and team growth.
NumberEight builds on device artificial intelligence technology that allows advertisers to target audiences without personal data. The London based firm provides privacy first identity solutions for the digital advertising sector.
London-based contextual intelligence startup NumberEight has raised $2.3m in a seed round led by Nauta Capital. The funding will be used to enhance the company platform, grow headcount, and accelerate business operations.
Founded in 2016, NumberEight uses on-device sensor data and artificial intelligence to deliver behavioural insights for mobile applications. The new capital arrives as the pandemic drives increased demand for digital media consumption across demographics.
Nauta Capital General Partner Carles Ferrer will join the company board following the investment.
