The already talented team includes former leaders from Twitter, Bill.com, Square and Credit Karma, as well as several PhDs working on the machine learning side of the product. The round was led by Rose Park Advisors, with participation from Flourish Ventures, Vestigo Ventures, TSEF, Green Cow Venture Capital and CMFG Ventures Discovery Fund.
