Papaya Global, an Israeli labour management platform with headquarters in Tel Aviv, raised $100 million in Series C funding, valuing the business at over $1 billion.
Papaya’s $40 million Series B round, announced less than six months ago, was followed by the fresh investment.
With the addition of the latest round of funding, which boosted the total amount raised to $190 million, previous investors Insight Venture Partners, Scale Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Dynamic Loop, New Era and Workday Ventures, Access Ventures, and Group 11 also participated.
The company plans to invest in its product, engineering, and go-to-market teams and use the extra investment to meet demand for its worldwide workforce management platform.
