DeckRobot has raised a total of $2.5 million across three rounds, including a $200,000 initial raise, a $700,000 convertible note in 2018, and a $1.5 million priced seed round in 2020.
CEO Tony Urban, a former McKinsey consultant who was 30 years old at the time of the interview, leads an 18-person team with 10 engineers and 3 quota-carrying sales hunters. The company targets a growth rate of 15 times its January 2021 revenue by December 2021, citing competitors such as think-cell, which Urban estimated generates over $100 million in annual revenue from more than 800,000 paying users.
