According to Pitchbook, Outreach was last valued at $515 million, implying a slightly more than 100% jump in valuation with this round. Outreach notably has quite a history with Microsoft (an investor in the company), having recently announced an integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365. April last year, the company poached former Microsoft executive Pavel Dmitriev to lead its data science team. It has also hired executives from the likes of Livongo, Centrify, and T-Mobile.
Outreach joins other companies including Affirm, Klook, Lemonade, Sila Nano, Toast, Casper, Airwallex, Rent the Runway, Doctolib, and Cloudflare that have raised huge funding recently.
