Long weekends are usually slow for business — unless you’re in NYC tech. You already know that Via received a $50 million investment (with the potential for more) and Dataiku raised $28 million in a Series B funding, but there’s more where that came from. In the past week, local tech startups raised $134.2 million. Here are some of the most notable rounds.
Updater, $45M
Updater, the company that simplified the process of moving and put it on one platform, just raised $45 million. This brings their total amount raised to $100 million. With the funding, the company acquired IGC Software and Asset Controls, Inc., two software providers for moving and storage companies nationwide. This move helps merge the front-end and back-end of the industry, allowing Updater users to book moving companies using the service. [Press release]
