New Funding Round to Accelerate Global Growth
Webscale, the Digital Cloud Company and the leader in converged software for hyperscale cloud automation, announced that it has secured a $14 million Series B round of financing led by Mohr Davidow Ventures with participation from Benhamou Global Ventures and Grotech Ventures. The investment represents a powerful validation of Webscale’s software stack for Layer 4 – 7 services and integrated multi-cloud platform for digital commerce.

The Series B financing builds on an outstanding year for the company. The Webscale platform levels the playing field for retailers, enterprises, and digital brands competing with the likes of Amazon and Walmart by delivering 100% uptime, next-generation cybersecurity, bot management, application performance, image management, and cloud automation powered by machine learning. With more than 100% YoY revenue growth, Webscale now delivers over 1,000 fast, secure, and scalable digital storefronts in seven countries, for customers including six of the Fortune 1000, such as Puma, Unilever, Hanes, Ferguson, Tommy Hilfiger, Cineworld Group, and others.
