Fremont, CA: Maintenance and operations platform company UpKeep raised USD 36 million in Series B round of financing led by Insight Partners with participation from existing investors Emergence Capital, Battery Ventures, Y Combinator, Mucker Capital, and Fundersclub. The company offers an award-winning platform for maintenance and operations teams. UpKeep is transforming the way frontline and deskless technicians manage their work and collaborate by replacing tedious paperwork and outdated systems with an easy-to-use mobile app.
"At UpKeep, we know maintenance and facility managers are typically only thought of when something at a facility is broken so badly that it's out of commission," said Ryan Chan, UpKeep founder, and CEO. "The truth is, maintenance and facility workers are part of the backbone of every industry, in every country in the world. They make a huge impact on all of our lives, every single day, whether we're aware of it or not - and that's never been more apparent than now as they work on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. Today, and every day, our commitment is to serve these maintenance workers as they lead the charge molding the post-COVID world around us."
