Clerk, a startup creating a suite of embeddable UIs, APIs and admin dashboards that app developers can use to authenticate and manage users, has raised $30 million in a Series B round led by CRV with participation from Stripe, Andreessen Horowitz and Madrona. The proceeds bring Clerk's total raised to $55.5 million, and co-founder and CEO Colin Sidoti says that they'll be put toward expanding Clerk's service beyond authentication and into authorization i.e. "Authorization has always been part of our product vision, but we needed a successful authentication product to build atop," Sidoti told TechCrunch in an email interview.
