Oxx leads $21m series-B for Peak
Oxx has led a $21m series-B funding round for artificial intelligence company Peak.
The firm is currently investing from its debut fund, which closed on $133m in February 2020. The vehicle provides funding rounds of $5-20m with an average equity ticket of $10-12m.
The funding round was oversubscribed, according to a statement, and saw participation from MMC Ventures, Praetura Ventures and Arete.
This latest funding will go towards global expansion, with new offices opening in both the US and India, as well as continued R&D investment in Peak's software. Peak is also planning to create 130 new jobs globally in the coming year.
As part of the round, Oxx's Richard Anton will join the board.

MMC Ventures led a £2.5m series-A round for Peak in September 2017.
In June 2018, Peak raised £1.5m from existing investors MMC and Praetura.
Peak raised $12m in its extended series-A funding round led by MMC and Praetura in April 2020.
