Oxford et al. in $13m round for Import.io

Besides Oxford and Wellington, backers of the series-A round included Imperial Innovations, Open Ocean, Delin Capital and AME Cloud Ventures. Import.io will use the fresh funding to expand its team across London and San Francisco and further develop its data extraction technology.

Wellington is no stranger to Import.io, having backed the company twice previously, according to unquote" data. The VC took part in a $3m round for the London-based web data company in 2014, alongside private investors. The investment was used to open a new office in San Francisco. Wellington had led a £600,000 round for the company in March the previous year.
