Storyblok raises $47 million Series B for headless CMS
Storyblok, builder of a headless CMS designed both for technical and non-technical users like marketers to manage content that appears across websites, apps and other digital interfaces, has announced the close of a $47 million Series B funding round.
This was led by Mubadala Capital and HV Capital and joined by existing investors 3VC and firstminute capital. Storyblok previously raised $11 million.
The new funding will accelerate product innovation, growth into the US and Europe, as well as an expansion into APAC, and growth of the ecosystem of partners and apps.
The company was founded by Dominik Angerer and Alexander Feiglstorfer in 2017 during their time working at a web development agency.
Their experience with traditional content management systems, and their inability to find a system that would be a good fit for both developers and content editors, inspired them to build the Storyblok headless CMS.
This is being used by brands such as Adidas, Renault, and Marc O’Polo.
“We’ve been big believers in Storyblok from day one, and the speed at which the company has managed to scale since our Series A investment has been remarkable,” says Fatou Bintou Sagnang, Partner at Mubadala Capital Ventures.
“Its strong organic traction is a real testament to the quality of the product it has built, and we are excited to continue our partnership with the Storyblok team.”
“Changing the way content is managed and published online is an ambitious goal that requires the support of bold investors,” says Angerer.
“HV Capital, Mubadala Capital, 3VC, and firstminute capital see the massive need and opportunity to make ‘publish once, deploy everywhere’ the new standard in enterprise content management.”
