"Our mission and technology are especially relevant now, as more and more people are working remotely and looking for tools that enable them to be effective and high-performing in any environment. Miro is a critical piece of the remote work stack, and this new funding will enable us to support millions of additional users as they shift to distributed work."

"The market for virtual collaboration software has been growing rapidly for several years, but the current environment has dramatically accelerated the future of how teams will work," said Matthew Jacobson, partner, ICONIQ Capital and new Miro board member. "We feel Miro is exceptionally well-positioned based on its robust technology, passionate leadership team and clear vision for the future of distributed teams."
The company's online whiteboard enables distributed teams to work more effectively, from running brainstorming sessions and workshops to planning projects, designing new products and services and facilitating agile ceremonies. Proceeds from the financing round will be used to scale the company's global sales and marketing teams, as well as expand the platform to provide enterprises and developers with APIs to embed Miro whiteboards into their business applications.
