After receiving this investment, the total investment in the company is valued at more than $800 million. The Series C funding was a very interesting one, very suspenseful, and memorable, which was led by Atomico and cheered by the participants: Salesforce Ventures and World Innovation Lab as new investors. Earlybird Venture Capital was the lead investor in Aiven in Series A, and IVP was the lead investor in Series B. Both companies have committed that they are significantly interested in increasing the capital of Aiven.
