MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Coefficient, the company that turns business users into builders with real-time data connectivity and automation in spreadsheets, today announced an $18 million Series A.
The round was led by Battery Ventures, the global technology investment firm, along with existing investors Foundation Capital and S28 Capital. The new funding will enable Coefficient-whose product is currently used by customers including Zendesk, Spotify, Foursquare, Contentful and Miro-to expand its product offerings and scale its global operations.
Coefficient is a no-code solution that allows business teams to work with live data directly from their spreadsheets. This empowers anyone in the company to build reports and workflows that are real-time, flexible and accurate without any knowledge of SQL or other advanced tools. Now, companies can truly democratize data insights and empower teams to drive results.
Is no-code the future of startups? We are seeing a massive influx of new projects built on no-code tools like Bubble and using Coefficient for their data management - ultimately saving large sums from having active developers and paying costly fees to companies like AWS.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Kyte, the company pioneering cars delivered to you on-demand for daily, weekly or monthly use, today announced $60 million in Series B growth equity financing.
The round is led by InterAlpen Partners, whose founder, Stephen George - an early investor in Tesla and SpaceX - is joining Kyte's Board. Other new investors include Valor Equity Partners, Anthemis, Citi Ventures, and Hearst Ventures, with significant participation from existing investors DN Capital plus 1984 Ventures, FJ Labs, and Urban Innovation Fund. This round brings Kyte's total funding to approximately $300M across equity and debt.
Kyte is reinventing the mobility market and is on a mission to unlock the freedom to go places. Kyte delivers cars on demand to people's doors for all trips longer than a rideshare. Through the Kyte mobile app on iOS, Android, or website, customers can book a car for a day, multiple days, multiple weeks, months, or however long they want. To begin, customers choose a time and location for their vehicle delivery. Then, the company dispatches a delivery driver - known as a Kyte Surfer - to deliver a clean, sanitized car at the time requested. When the vehicle is ready to be returned, a Kyte Surfer retrieves the car from the customer at the location and time they can flexibly choose.
Kyte’s value proposition is focusing on younger people living in cities without regular access to a vehicle, where there are little train or bus options available. A similar company to keep an eye on in Europe is BlaBlaCar, which is essentially an Uber for long car rides.

BuildWithin is a software platform that enables employers to create, manage and expand apprenticeship programs, accelerating the productivity of new workers. Founded by Michelle Rhee and Ximena Hartsock, BuildWithin is dedicated to upskilling today's workforce.
A positive push in the HR Tech trend, we are interested in seeing how BuildWithin continues to take marketshare in their early Seed days.
