£126M

The financing round was co-led by Accel and Tiger Global to support the company's global expansion.

— Peter McKay, CEO
Series C
$400M

The Series C round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst with participation from IVP and other returning backers.

"We are creating a portfolio of products to build the future of live video collaboration and remote community. As we’ve seen, the importance of providing unparalleled virtual and hybrid event experiences has never been greater and this latest funding is a reflection of how critical it is as brands look for ways to connect with people and avenues of growth. To enable this, we are investing more in video innovation, the core medium of digital collaboration. We’re incredibly appreciative of the confidence from our investors who share Hopin’s vision for a better connected world. This is a testament to the dedication of the Hopin team, which works hard to deliver for our customers."

Series D+
£220M

Coatue led the Series D round, which will fund platform expansion and strategic acquisitions.

"The demand for online payments has skyrocketed following the restrictions due to the effects of COVID, and as a company, we are well placed to provide businesses across the globe with the solutions they need and to get them up and running fast,"
— Arik Shtilman, Co-founder and CEO
Series B
£121M

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."
— Guillaume Pousaz, Founder and CEO
Series C
£81.4M

Oak HC/FT led the financing round, which will fund network expansion and product development.

"Global commerce is at a critical inflection point as businesses are pressed to launch new applications, process and accept local payment methods, disburse funds, and manage risk and compliance so they can offer highly localized customer experiences without having to build their own infrastructure. The expectation today is that this must happen around the world in order to drive growth into new markets. As more than half of all transactions worldwide are facilitated via bank transfers and cash, merchants find it increasingly difficult to digitally enable local payment methods and process cross-border sales that are required for international expansion."
— Arik Shtilman, Co-founder and CEO
