InRiver, which has so far raised around $56m (€47.9m) in funding, will use the latest proceeds to speed up growth to meet accelerated customer demand, to continue product development, and to further expand into North America, its highest-growth market.

In 2017, InRiver raised €10.5m from existing investors Verdane, Industrifonden and Zobito, and partially through a loan from the European Investment Bank's fund European Fund for Strategic Investments.
