€5M (reported as $5.5M in USD by one source) led by Sequoia Capital, with XYZ, GG1, AIGrant, Connect Ventures, Motier VC, Remote First, Tiny Supercomputer, Seedcamp, and others participating.[23][4][1]

$16M led by Sequoia, with XYZ, GG1, Connect Ventures, Seedcamp, and Motier Ventures participating. Company reported $1M ARR and 70% WAU/MAU at time of announcement.[24][5][1]

$40M co-led by Abstract and Sequoia Capital, with strategic participation from Snowflake Ventures and Datadog. Brings total funding to more than $60M. Valuation not disclosed.[1][3][9][12]

LinkedIn-sourced data (via Exa) states $21.5M total funding with one prior round — clearly stale and inconsistent with the three-round history corroborated by TechCrunch, The Next Web, Silicon Canals, and the company's own blog. One European outlet reported the Series B as €34M vs. the $40M figure in all other sources — likely an FX artifact, not a genuine discrepancy.[6][7][1][3][13]
