German based software company Celonis has raised $1 billion from investors to give the company a post-fundraising valuation of more than $11 billion, extending a record-stretching series of mega funding rounds by German technology startups.
Munich-based Celonis, founded a decade ago, has consistently doubled revenue from year to year and recently launched its Execution Management System product that crunches data to tackle problems and automate decision making.
The Celonis fundraising raise follows recent bumper rounds by online stockbroker Trade Republic, online insurer Wefox, and another Munich startup FlixMobility, which on Wednesday said it had raised $650 million.
On top of the Series D venture round, a record for a German technology startup, Celonis said it was hiring veteran Wall Street analyst and Google (GOOGL.O) executive Carlos Kirjner to become its chief financial officer.
