WalkMe™ Raises $90 Million to Empower Organizations to Realize the Full Promise of Their Software Investments
Latest Investment Will Drive International Expansion and Operational Growth for the Digital Adoption Technology Unicorn
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- WalkMe™, the leading digital adoption platform and one of the fastest-growing software companies globally, announced today that it has closed a $90M round of funding led by Vitruvian Partners with participation from previous investor Insight Partners. With this latest funding round, WalkMe will continue to scale and help leading enterprises realize the full potential of their software assets and empower digital transformation across their organization.
With over $307 million in funding raised to-date, almost doubling its valuation in the last year and more than 2,000 customers across the globe, WalkMe has experienced exponential growth since its launch in 2011. In Q2 of 2019, WalkMe crossed $100 Million in ARR, and in Q3 of 2019 WalkMe's new business bookings grew 100% compared to Q3 of 2018. WalkMe will use the investment to drive expansion into new markets, including Latin America, and will continue to invest in and rapidly scale its Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) to meet growing customer demand. WalkMe's DAP makes it effortless to use any software, website or app – analyzing and automating processes so users can complete tasks faster and easier.
"This latest round of funding speaks to our success and to the untapped potential of digital adoption," said Rafael Sweary, Co-founder and President of WalkMe. "WalkMe transforms how organizations gain visibility into their end-to-end business processes, driving workforce productivity, increasing customer satisfaction, and achieving higher operational efficiencies."
As organizations set out on their digital transformation journey, lacking a digital adoption strategy can strongly impact both employee and customer experience. C-suite executives of global organizations rely on the WalkMe platform to significantly improve the ROI on costly enterprise software investments, ensuring that all users get the maximum value out of these tools. With WalkMe automation, for example, employees have an 81% higher success rate for completing certain business processes, gaining the agility to complete three times as many tasks in the same amount of time.
"In a few short years, WalkMe has emerged as the category-defining market leader in the fast-growing Digital Adoption Solutions space," said Mike Risman, Managing Partner of Vitruvian Partners. "We are excited to partner with WalkMe as an investor during this pivotal time of accelerated growth and global expansion as the company capitalizes on its market leadership. WalkMe helps the world's most forward-looking enterprises deliver on their digital transformation strategy. The company's platform delights employees with more efficient software interactions, empowers business process owners to steer and re-engineer workflows and provides analytics to help CIOs manage the complexity of the digital transformation proactively."
