Series A
£12.0M

Battery Ventures led the Series A round to support platform development and US expansion.

"Support is no longer just about closing tickets – it’s about building long-term relationships. The migration to collaborative, real-time channels is changing the way businesses interact with customers. Plain is the platform designed for this new reality, helping companies deliver support that’s fast, effective, and aligned with their customers’ needs."
— Simon Rohrbach, Co-founder and CEO
Series B
£57.3M

Battery Ventures led the financing round, with participation from a16z and Highland Europe.

"We've focused on building a capital-efficient, independent business that was both high-growth and sustainable from the outset. Although we have more cash-on-hand than we've raised, we wanted to bring on new expertise in our target markets as we continue our growth into new verticals and geographies. We are delighted to have attracted a world-class set of investors who bring an unparalleled combination of experience, expertise, and support to hyperexponential in the next phase of our expansion."
— Amrit Santhirasenan, CEO
Series B
£24.8M

Battery Ventures led the financing round, which will support product enhancement and team growth across engineering and client success.

"The headwinds and opportunities facing restaurants today are enormous. Operators are adapting to changing customer preferences around dining and ordering as well as monumental market disruptions – first the pandemic, then supply-chain disruptions and a labour shortage. This has dramatically changed how restaurants operate and shrunk profit margins for those not able to adapt,"
— Nick Popovici, CEO
Seed
£108M

General Atlantic led the Series E financing round to support the company growth.

"Enterprises need to effectively close information gaps by rapidly transforming operational data into analytics-ready datasets that fuel business intelligence, AI, and ML innovation,"
— Matthew Scullion, CEO and Co-founder
