According to some reports, the company’s upcoming financial cycle could be led by Tiger Global at the cost of $ 100 Mn.

As The Demand For Key Tech and Leadership Role Surges, Startups Begin Hiring the Candidates

April 9, 2021

Moneycontrol first reported progress. Aprameya Radhakrishnan, the CEO, and co-founder of Koo, said Ravikant and Srinivasan had invested in the company last month. In February, Koo had raised $ 4.1 Mn in the Series A financial series led by 3one4 Capital, with Accel Partners, Kalaari Capital, Blume Ventures, and Dream Incubator.

China-based fundraiser Shunwei Capital, the first investor in Koo’s parent Bombinate Technologies, has completely withdrawn from the company in this round. Existing investors and new angel investors such as former Indian cricketer Javagal Srinath, BookMyShow founder Ashish Hemrajani, Udaan cofounder Sujeet Kumar, Flipkart chief executive Kalyan Krishnamurthy and founder Nikh-Zilod 9% of Shunwei in this company.

Meanwhile, Koo had gained a strong draw since February, when he said it has 3 Mn users. It was then that the Indian government attacked Twitter, asking the social media giant to lower its tweets in support of the farmers’ protest. A few government ministers have approved Koo and have accounts on the microblogging platform.

“There is space for a neutral or relevant communication network. People sometimes want easy communication in their circles and echo rooms. Koo can provide that. And the founders have shown creative ability, so investors will always be interested,” said the company’s next investor.
