The series D financing round was led by Singapore’s EDB Investments and also included Vertex Venture Holdings, the venture subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, also of Singapore. Investors in previous rounds also contributed, which included, Apax Partners, ARCH Venture Partners, Convexa Capital, Harris & Harris Group, Sevin Rosen Funds and Triton Ventures.
