Ecommerce fraud prevention solutions provider Riskified has raised $165 million in a Series E funding round at a valuation of over $1 billion.
The latest funding round, which brings the total raised by the firm to over $228 million, was led by General Atlantic, with participation from Fidelity Management & Research Company, Winslow Capital Management, and existing investors Qumra Capital, Pitango Venture Capital and Entrée Capital.
In a blog post, Riskified CEO Eido Gal and CTO Assaf Feldman, who are both founders of the company, said the money will be used to accelerate product development and for further global expansion.
“We’ll be able to offer even more solutions that help merchants drive revenue and deliver a better customer experience. The new clients and partners that we onboard and the new products we deliver will, in turn, increase our accuracy and improve our performance,” Gal and Feldman explained in a joint blog post.
