Tines Announces $50 Million in New Financing

Company’s Annual Recurring Revenue up more than 100 percent; Achieves 200 percent growth on a 30 percent increase in headcount since last round of funding

BOSTON and DUBLIN, April 24, 2024Tines, the trusted leader in smart, secure workflows, today announced $50 million in new funding as an extension to its Series B led by Accel and Felicis with participation from Addition, CrowdStrike Falcon Fund and SVCI, all pre-existing investors in the company. This financing brings the total capital raised by Tines to date to $146.2 million.

In fiscal year 2024, Tines’ Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew by over 100 percent, an increase of more than 200 percent since the company’s last funding round in October 2022 with a 30 percent increase in employee headcount. The new investment will enable Tines to continue to help its customers – which range from startups to the Fortune 10 – to enhance their workflow automation capabilities by expanding its functionality for collaborative workflows across the enterprise and adding AI enhancements for ease of use.

“Tines’ mission is to power the most important workflows for companies worldwide,” said Eoin Hinchy, co-founder and CEO at Tines. “These funds allow us to double down on areas we’ve seen much success, maintain our leadership position in security, and continue our strategy to automate complex technical workflows for multiple departments across the enterprise.”

Organizations burdened by the common challenge of too much work and not enough staff risk employee burnout and costly human errors, which can impact a company’s reputation and the bottom line. With Tines, teams can unlock new levels of efficiency through a combination of workflow automation, orchestration, and AI. This funding helps further Tines’ innovation roadmap, driven by customers’ feedback, to continue to make the platform easier to use and help customers realize meaningful value quickly.

“When we led Tines’ Series A in 2019, Eoin and Thomas had spent more than a decade as security operators, experiencing the inefficiencies and tedious manual tasks faced by teams everywhere firsthand,” said Luca Bocchio, partner at Accel. “The Tines team is now going after the broader opportunity of powering the most important and mission critical workflows for global businesses. We believe Tines represents the future for workflow automation in security and beyond and we look forward to the journey ahead.”

“Tines is a once-in-a generation platform that increases the efficiency of all the products it touches,” said Jake Storm, partner at Felicis. “The company has demonstrated phenomenal execution since we first invested in 2022, driven by intense customer love and a product that provides real value.”

The near-term strategy for Tines is to continue addressing the demands of large-scale operations for global enterprises, federal government and public sector customers. Today’s announcement builds on Tines’ recent momentum, such as the launch of its Channel Partner Program, which doubled the number of partners in its ecosystem in 2023, the expansion of its platform’s focus to include teams throughout an organization, and its recent product innovations including the release of new AI-powered features.

Tines is hiring across all departments, including engineering, product, operations, sales and marketing. Tines has offices in Dublin, Boston and San Francisco. More information on open positions can be found at www.tines.com/careers.

Tines will be exhibiting in Booth 4519 North at the RSA Conference being held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco from May 6-9.

“More than 100 customers have recorded a more than 20% average increase in sales of their spare parts as a result of using MARKT-PILOT’s software solution. It’s the ultimate vote of confidence in our results and the viability of our business model that one of the world’s most visionary tech investors has placed their trust in us,” said Morbe. “With the support of Insight Partners, we will continue to expand and invest in the further development of our products and AI.”

Dr. Martin Ruth, CFO of MARKT-PILOT, is also delighted with the successful Series A round and calls to (future) employees: “We are very proud of our great, highly motivated team in Esslingen, Chicago, Milan and Stockholm. Now we have the opportunity to further grow and attract more talent to our company.”

TRAM VF Announces Flagship Investment in London Ride-Hailing Startup, OUNO

Founded in 2023, OUNO rapidly gained traction in the market, attracting early investments from notable figures such as England & Manchester United’s Mason Mount, BAFTA-winning actor Michael Ward, and Grind Founder David Abramovitch, among others. In its inaugural year, OUNO demonstrated remarkable progress, earning the trust of numerous high-end brands including Prada, Hublot, and the Soho House Group. With thousands of daily B2C users in London alone, OUNO has established itself as a leader in the executive ride-hailing sector.

OUNO’s innovative feature of vehicle specificity distinguishes it in the executive ride-hailing space. Unlike other platforms that generalize vehicle options, OUNO enables users to request specific models such as Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, V-Class, or even a Tesla for those seeking a fully electric option. With over 2,500 chauffeurs already enlisted on the platform and an additional 1,500 awaiting onboarding, OUNO has become the preferred choice for drivers in London.

TRAM VF’s investment underscores its confidence in OUNO’s growth potential and commitment to innovation. With ambitious plans for expansion into the MENA region and the US, OUNO is positioned to redefine urban transportation globally. TRAM’s leadership is excited to support OUNO’s journey as it continues to lead the London market and extend its reach worldwide.

“We’re delighted to welcome TRAM to our business and successfully close our seed round,” said Bobby Drewett, Founder of OUNO. “Having TRAM as our first VC investor will strengthen our position for future funding rounds, benefiting from their wealth of knowledge and experience.”

“The strategic expansion into the Middle East is a top priority for both TRAM and OUNO,” remarked Asad Ali, Managing Partner of TRAM VF. “As I transition from public markets to private markets, I look forward to closely collaborating with Bobby and the OUNO team. As a value-add investor, I’ll utilize Tri Ri’s global network and resources to support OUNO’s growth, particularly in key markets, and help solidify its position as a market innovator in executive transportation.”

OUNO’s innovative transportation approach, coupled with TRAM VF’s strategic investment, lays the groundwork for a dynamic partnership poised to revolutionize the travel experience. Together, OUNO and TRAM VF are set to reshape urban mobility and make a lasting impact worldwide.

Summer Health Announces Series A Fundraise from 7wireVentures and Lux Capital

NEW YORK, April 23, 2024 — Summer Health, a digital health company offering 24/7 pediatric support to parents, announced $11.65M in Series A Funding, co-led by new investor 7wire Ventures and returning investor Lux Capital. Returning investors Sequoia Capital, Metrodora Ventures, Box Group, and Shrug Capital participated, with new participation from Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates company and Leaps by Bayer. Alfred Lin of Sequoia Capital, Deena Shakir of Lux Capital, Alyssa Jaffee of 7wire Ventures, and Chelsea Clinton of Metrodora Ventures are also joining the Summer board.

Summer Health is a text-based companion to a family’s primary pediatrician, removing the need for unnecessary visits and serving as support anytime and anywhere. The company’s flagship product, text-based care in under 15 minutes, has been used by thousands of parents to manage urgent medical guidance and seamlessly prescribe medications as-needed since its launch in July 2022. In November 2023, the company expanded its longitudinal primary care model with lactation support, sleep training, developmental milestone tracking, and long-term pediatric care.

Today, parents can buy Summer Health’s services directly from the company for $45 a month or via their employer at select businesses.

Summer Health’s clinical team is led by Dr. Ali Alhassani, MD F.A.A.P. He notes that the most common needs parents address with Summer include:

  • Nutrition-related questions, including breastfeeding and the introduction of solid foods;
  • Pink eye and rashes;
  • Allergies and food-related sensitivities;
  • Support with sleep training;
  • Support following Well-Child care visits, which typically only last 6 to 8 minutes.

The Association of American Medical Colleges projects a doctor shortage of up to 86,000 physicians and that extends to pediatrics by 2036. Summer Health plans to double down on its distribution via consumer and employer channels to combat this lack of abundant access to pediatricians. The company will also continue to expand service offerings for parents. In addition to primary care, they currently offer specialty services like nutrition and child development coaching.

“Summer Health was created by parents, for parents, to make daily life just a little bit simpler. What’s so special about this group of investors is that they’re all parents, and every single one of them actively uses the product,” said Summer Health’s CEO Ellen DaSilva.

“As a pediatrician, I’ve witnessed first-hand how long parents would need to wait for appointments for their child to be seen in person,” said Dr. Ali Alhassani, head of clinical for Summer Health. “So many of these issues could be addressed from the comfort of home, and that’s why I joined Summer Health.”

Summer Health’s trusted brand has laid the groundwork for deep longitudinal care for all families. On a personal note, I’ve been using the service since Day One and can’t imagine life without it,” said Alyssa Jaffee, general partner with 7wire Ventures. “Professionally, we are delighted to be part of Summer Health’s journey as it scales to more parents and their families, and we deeply believe in the need for more investment and innovation in pediatrics.”

“Summer Health’s growth is evidence that the company has tapped into a real and growing need,” said Deena Shakir, general partner at Lux. And “I’m proud to say that this round is being co-led by two moms of three kids and the company led by another—between us, 9 children and a lifetime of user feedback.

Casa Shares Raises $1.5M in Pre-Seed Funding to Democratize Real Estate Investing for Future Generations

REXBURG, Idaho, April 23, 2024Casa Shares, an SEC qualified real estate investing platform making real estate available to everyone starting at just $100, has raised $1.5 million in funding at a $10 million valuation.

Founded by former Oracle employee Mirza Beg and real estate developer McKay Francis, Casa Shares simplifies the investment process, enabling users to acquire shares in prime income properties within minutes. Beyond providing a platform, Casa Shares takes the helm in managing properties, offering investors the chance to earn passive income and benefit from property appreciation, all while sidestepping the typical hurdles of real estate investment.

Casa Shares debuts amid a booming market—projected to surge from $10.7 billion in 2024 to $300.7 billion by 2032, with a staggering 44.9% CAGR (DataHorizzon Research)—this rapid expansion is propelled by a societal shift towards convenience, diversified assets, and location freedom.

Mirza Beg, CEO and co-founder, highlights a significant problem: the exclusion of younger generations from real estate wealth-building due to skyrocketing property prices. Casa Shares aims to dismantle these barriers, offering an inclusive investment experience that is both accessible and engaging for all.

The quest for stable, inflation-resistant investment options has become more pronounced in the face of recent fluctuations in the crypto and equity markets. Real estate stands out as a coveted alternative, yet high entry costs remain a significant deterrent for many, especially first-time investors.

Casa Shares is dedicated to democratizing real estate investment, making it feasible for millions without the requisite funds, time, or knowledge to venture into property investment independently.

To date, Casa Shares has released their first offering, The Lorene, a premium condominium in Rexburg, Idaho—a fast growing college town and home to Brigham Young University – Idaho. Looking ahead, the company is set to broaden its portfolio with diverse properties and locations and is also developing an iOS app to refine the investment experience.

The round was raised by a group of private investors with a shared vision for ensuring an inclusive real estate investing ecosystem exists for future generations.

HighByte has developed a unique Industrial DataOps software solution, HighByte Intelligence Hub, that enables manufacturers to merge, prepare, and deliver modeled industrial data to and from IT systems without writing or maintaining code. Curating and contextualizing data at the edge is foundational to the success of advanced analytics and adoption of large language models in manufacturing. First released in 2020, HighByte Intelligence Hub has now been deployed in 18 countries by more than 60 industrial companies with multi-plant facilities.

“In 2023, we tripled ARR for the third consecutive year and proved product-market fit across a wide variety of vertical markets,” said HighByte CEO Tony Paine. “Building off that success, we plan to further invest in the business to support growing customer demand, expand our global partnerships, and recruit additional talent to remain innovative, agile, and responsive to market requirements. This investment validates our mission and will be essential for the next stage of our growth.” 

HighByte was established in 2018 by a founding team with more than 50 years of deep domain experience in industrial data as alumni of Kepware, including Tony Paine who served as CEO of Kepware from 2009 to 2016 and led the sale of Kepware to PTC in 2016.
