Israeli SaaS co prooV today announced a $14 million Series B fijnancing round led by Helios Capital and Mangrove Capital Partners with the participation of OurCrowd and Cerca Partners. The company has raised $21.1 million to date including this latest round.
Founded by CEO Toby Olshanetsky and CTO Alexey Sapozhnikov, the Tel Aviv based company has developed a Pilot-as-a-Service platform that facilitates and streamlines the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) process for startups and enterprises.
The company will use the funding to expand and hire more staff, and continue to enhance the platform offering. prooV will also establish a New York City office to support its expanding North American client portfolio.
prooV manages the entire PoC process, from the discovery via its PoC and solutions marketplace, to testing via deep mirroring of the enterprise testing environment, through to the deployment of the technology on the enterprise's production servers. By running multiple PoCs safely and securely on prooV, enterprises and startups, save invaluable time and money compared to traditional processes. The interest in the platform has put prooV on an accelerated growth path.
Olshanetsky said, "We have seen incredible demand for our platform from both leading startups and global enterprises, which came as no surprise since prooV was born out of the very serious pain points we ourselves felt from building technology companies over the years. This new round of funding will help us continue to facilitate more PoCs using our proprietary technology, and push further into more industries and markets across the globe."
"prooV has emerged as the only platform that's truly addressing the PoC headache permeating businesses today," said Edouard Ullmo, Managing Director at Helios Capital. "At a time when organizations are inundated with the latest and greatest technologies to retain their competitive advantage - whether it's cybersecurity, blockchain, mobile or many others - prooV serves as the nucleus of innovation for both startups and enterprises."
"CIOs are key in selecting and adopting new technologies within organizations," said Roy Saar, Partner at Mangrove Capital Partners. "We at Mangrove recognize and invest in companies we believe have the true potential to ease CIO's lives. WalkMe, which also just announced a big round of funding, addresses this with their Digital Adoption Platform, while prooV does so with its one-of a kind PoC platform."
