New Funds and CEO for Work Insights Platform Fin

In the US, work insights platform Fin has raised $20m in a Series A round of funding, for use in sales, marketing and R&D. The company has also appointed former Twilio exec Evan Cummack as Chief Executive Officer.

Founded in 2019 by Andrew Kortina, co-founder of mobile payment service Venmo, and Sam Lessin, former VP of Product at Facebook, San Francisco-based Fin delivers enterprise data about the ways teams work together, enabling management to see how work actually gets done and where processes and teams can improve. The company's software can be integrated with CRMs such as Zendesk and Salesforce, or clients' own proprietary CRM systems, with data segmented by team, application and role. Clients have full access to Fin data, enabling data teams to correlate Fin's behavioral insights against other internal sources.

Cummack (pictured) joins as CEO from cloud communications platform Twilio, where he worked for nearly a decade and latterly served as General Manager, IoT & Wireless, responsible for product, engineering and go-to-market functions. Prior to this he worked for IT giant NEC Corporation as Software Solution Architect.

New funding has been led by Coatue, with participation from First Round Capital, Accel, and Kleiner Perkins. Arielle Zuckerberg, Partner at Coatue, comments: 'We're excited to partner with Fin as they use highly flexible data methods and a people-centric approach to help companies gain greater visibility into productivity in their operations. We believe this represents a large untapped market with impressive growth potential'.
