Cloud-based HR startup Employment Hero is on its way to becoming the next Aussie unicorn, after it secured a whopping $140 million in Series E funding.
The funding came from US-based Insight Partners, which is showing increasing interest in the tech scene down under. It also more than tripled the startup’s valuation, bringing it up from $250 million three months ago to a hefty $800 million today.
According to founder and chief Ben Thompson, that number’s only going up.
