Front just raised $59 million in Series C funding, in a round that included prominent software executives from hot companies like Zoom, Atlassian, Okta and Qualtrics. Front is taking on Outlook and Gmail with a team based approach to email. It combines a company's social media, email, texts and other messages into a shared inbox that an entire team can use.
Front will be using the funding to keep growing and add new functionality to its product, including launching a calendar app for its customers. Email is a staple in every workplace, no matter the industry. But it hasn't really been reimagined since it first hit the mainstream in the '90s.and her team at Front want to change that, and take on established players like Microsoft Outlook and Google's Gmail in the doing.
However, it was also a slightly unusual round that included capital from prominent tech executives, many of whom are similarly focused on the future of work. Executives from Zoom, Atlassian, Okta and Qualtrics participated — including Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, Front is already growing rapidly, and this new funding will propel it even further. Front now has 5,500 customers, including companies like MailChimp, Y Combinator, Shopify, Cisco Meraki, eTix, and Stripe.
