Bull City Venture Partners’ Post

Whoop whoop!! We're thrilled to announce Learn to Win's $30 million Series A funding round. It's a huge milestone in our journey to modernize training across critical industries and deliver learning software that drives results. Reflecting a bit on the moment, it's also a culmination of years of effort across a whole team of folks, who invested long nights and weekends listening to customers, refining our product, and doing whatever it takes to build an organization and a software platform that solves our customer's biggest challenges. I feel really blessed to have had a team that was willing to lean in and work hard along what's become such an awesome adventure. I'm also thankful for customers who believed in us, mentors who gave their time and wisdom, friends who helped however they could, and many loved ones who were gracious enough to tolerate me showing up late to family events (sometimes!)   Special shoutout to the The Westly Group for leading the round, and the teams at Norwest Venture Partners, Pear VC, and Bull City Venture Partners for joining the round or doubling down on our team. This new funding gives us the ability to continue growing our rockstar squad and invest in new ways to use artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to solve the hardest problems in training. It's been a grand adventure, but we're just getting started!! Full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eyKtXfrs

Marching into the month with new team members!✨🍀 Welcome to #LifeAtLevitate

Big news! Apica and Circonus are joining forces and this is gonna be fun to watch. "The acquisition of Circonus will solidify Apica’s position as a trailblazer in data management and observability" and I'm excited to see what the combined Circonus <> Apica team can do. ❤️ To the team at Circonus both past and present, you have much to be proud of including building one of the most performant time series databases in the industry with IRONdb and the industry's first dynamic telemetry management solution with Passport to address skyrocketing observability costs. You guys were awesome and I can't thank you enough for all your sacrifice and hard work. Congrats to founder Theo Schlossnagle! 📈 To our customers at HBO, Google, Redfin, Xandr, EA Sports, and many others - you're in good hands with a combined company that now has greater size and scale, enhanced technology and offerings, global reach, and the strong financial backing of the combined team of investors. ✍🏻 Big thanks also to our partners at Baird Capital, NewSpring, Osage Venture Partners, Bull City Venture Partners, and Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA for all your support over the past 5 years. As for me? After a 5-year run, I'm gonna catch my breath and enjoy an empty inbox, an eventless calendar, and no Slack notifications - at least for a couple weeks :) I look forward to reconnecting with folks as I explore the next chapter. To Mathias Thomsen and Patrik Edvinson - I wish you every success in the years ahead. 🏆🏆🏆 Onwards! https://lnkd.in/eZyDmMRT

I founded Greenplaces on the belief that our sustainability goals can't be achieved without involving all businesses -- including those outside the Fortune 500. ☝ But, global businesses can invest in internal climate expertise-– most companies cannot.
