Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners (DTCP) has invested $10m in VC-backed Pipedrive, a US- and Estonia-based CRM software developer, bringing the total value of its series-C funding round to $60m.
The additional funding will support the company's plans to expand into new regions, with a particular focus on increasing its presence in the German market.
The follow-on round comes four months after Insight Venture Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners led the initial $50m series-C for Pipedrive, with Rembrandt Venture Partners and Atomico also taking part.
Previous funding
Pipedrive raised $700,000 in seed funding in 2012, with $325,000 committed by TMT Investments. Huddle co-founder Andy McLoughlin and Christopher Muenchhoff also contributed to the round.
The company then raised $2.4m from Storm Ventures, Rembrandt and TMT, as well as a number of angel investors, the following year.
Bessemer, Paua Ventures and existing investors injected $9m into the Estonian business software provider in 2015. Previous backers Rembrandt and AngelPad (which incubated Pipedrive in 2012) also took part in the round.
Company
Founded in 2010 and dual-headquartered in Tallinn and New York, Pipedrive provides sales management software products to SMEs, designed to simplify and improve customer relationship management.
