The funding round was led by New Enterprise Associates, whose portfolio includes investments in fintech firms Plaid and Robinhood and cybersecurity company Cloudflare.

Also part of the round are Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Sixth Street Growth, CapitalG, and Tidemark, who join current investors TCV, JMI Equity, funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.

Past investor Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System is also back again, too.
