"The interfaces got better, But underneath, money is still moving on systems built decades ago. That’s where the friction comes from."
The Series B round was co-led by Salesforce Ventures and Spark Capital to support product development for tendering teams.
"The investment in AutogenAI by Salesforce Ventures highlights our conviction that AutogenAI’s software is a game-changer for enterprises that secure business via tendering and drafting proposals,"
Blossom Capital has led a £17.2m investment in AutogenAI to support product development and international expansion.
"We build language engines that help organisations to write bids, tenders and proposals more efficiently and more effectively. Our technology augments human expertise by enhancing the power of bid writing teams. This is a clear example of AI being used for public good, reducing the cost of bidding and freeing up taxpayers’ money for the delivery of services. We’re looking forward to working closely with Blossom Capital to build on the progress we’ve achieved so far."
The $1bn financing round was supported by a consortium of global investors led by firms such as Altimeter and GIC.
"At our core, we help enterprise merchants to navigate the complexity of moving money around the world, whether in fiat currency or bridging the gap to Web3,"
Blossom Capital led the Series A round to help accelerate the company growth across engineering and go-to-market functions.
"Over the past year, enterprises have compressed their cloud adoption timelines while protecting the applications that enable their remote workforces,"

The financing round was backed by angel investors including Carmen Rico, Eileen Burbidge, and Martin Mignot.
"Dinner parties, birthdays, date nights and meals with friends are never just about food"
The seed round was led by Blossom Capital with participation from Creandum and Index Ventures.
"Gone are the days of fighting for online slots, damaged goods and disappointing substitutions. Dija is here to change every hassle we experience with the weekly shop. We are making this time-consuming and unsatisfactory experience simple, speedy and reliable. Dija combines brilliant execution with bespoke technology to create an exceptional experience for customers across the UK, freeing up their time and energy by delivering what consumers want, when they want it."
The Series C round values the cloud payments provider at $15bn and was joined by Greenoaks Capital alongside existing investors.
"Payments affect everything from the customer journey to a business’s ability to enter new markets or launch new products."
Coatue led the Series B funding round to support product development and strengthen the balance sheet.
"I’m thrilled to welcome Coatue to our cap table. As meaningful investors in late-stage tech companies such as Instacart, DoorDash, Bytedance and Chime they bring a wealth of experience in building world-class businesses driven by operational excellence. They share our vision for a future of connected payments which made them an obvious choice as partners for us."
Benchmark led the Series A round with participation from Blossom Capital and Index Ventures to support team expansion ahead of launch.
"The travel industry is underpinned by archaic software and processes that are fundamentally prohibitive for the modern day traveller."

The record-breaking Series A round was led by Insight Partners and DST Global with participation from GIC and Blossom Capital.
"We have been fortunate to have some of the world’s leading investors approach us for some time but our focus has remained on building the very best suite of products we can for our merchants on four continents. Having built a sustainable business, one hire at a time, it was crucial to find partners that share our vision of how enterprise businesses will consume financial services in the future. We have anticipated this from our early days and have designed Checkout.com’s platform from the outset so that we can easily deliver incremental services to our customers as the company expands its offering."
