數字社交平臺Discord獲新一輪5億美元融資
據知情人士透露,數字社交平臺Discord在新一輪融資中籌集了5億美元,該公司估值約150億美元。
據悉,此輪融資由Dragoneer Investment Group領投,Baillie Gifford & Co.、Coatue Management、Fidelity Management & Research Co.和Franklin Templeton等公司也參與了此次投資。
Discord聯合創始人兼首席執行官Jason Citron在一封電子郵件聲明中表示,新資金將用於“投資新功能和工具”並擴大公司的員工隊伍。
總部位於舊金山的Discord尤其受電子遊戲玩家的歡迎,但其業務已擴展到從學習小組到藝術社區的所有領域。該平臺現在每月有超過1.5億活躍用戶,這些用戶使用該服務進行語音、視頻和文本交流。
今年早些時候,幾家公司就收購事宜與 Discord 接洽。知情人士曾表示,該公司當時正在與微軟(MSFT.US)進行談判,後者出價120億美元收購這家初創公司。隨後,Discord拒絕了這一提議,談判就此結束。
Discord的一些現有投資者包括Benchmark、Greylock Partners、Index Ventures和Spark Capital。據數據提供商PitchBook稱,在本輪融資之前,該公司迄今已籌集了近6億美元。
