Aircall secures $29M to reinvent the business phone

MAY 16, 2018

We're delighted to share the announcement today that Balderton portfolio company Aircall has raised $29 million in Series B funding, led by Draper Esprit. Balderton is participating in this round, alongside NextWorld Capital, eFounders, Newfund and other existing investors, bringing total funding to $40.5 million to-date. 

Aircall will use the new funds to accelerate the buildout of its cloud-based phone system, including seamless integrations into all the software tools used by modern businesses. Aircall will also dedicate portions of the funds to acquire top talent to supplement its growing teams in both the U.S. and Europe.

Since our first investment in 2015, it’s been clear that Aircall is addressing a major need for the modern business. They have the potential to be a transformative business and we can’t wait to see the next chapter in their growth
