Austrian startup Storyblok, a modern content management system (CMS) for all teams, has closed $80 million in Series C financing. This takes the total amount raised by the company to $138 million. Brighton Park Capital led the round with participation from existing investors HV Capital, Mubadala Capital (invested in Moove and Tabby), 3VC, and Firstminute Capital (invested in Layla and Risk Ledger). Previously, Storyblok raised €1.5 million in 2022 and $47 million in 2023.
The new funding will further accelerate Storyblok’s growth in the US and Europe, enabling the company to fulfill its vision of building the first end-to-end content platform, powered by AI and automation.
“With a highly differentiated, easy-to-use platform, Storyblok is a leader in the CMS space, helping both marketers and developers to create content experiences across multiple channels quickly and efficiently,” said Kevin Magan, Partner at Brighton Park Capital. “We are proud to be Storyblok’s first US investor as the company continues its rapid expansion in the region. Dominik and the Storyblok team have created tremendous momentum in a short period, and we’re excited to support their continued growth.”
Ibrahim Ajami, Head of Ventures at Mubadala Capital, added: “We’ve been strong supporters of Storyblok since day one, and the speed at which the company has continued to scale since our Series A investment has been remarkable. Storyblok’s growth highlights the unique value of its product, and the continued backing from both developers and marketers underscores its quality. We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Storyblok team.”
Headless CMS solution
Storyblok was founded by Dominik Angerer and Alexander Feiglstorfer in 2017 during their time working at a web development agency. Their inability to find a system that would be a good fit for both developers and content editors inspired them to build a headless CMS that works for all users.
The CMS solution empowers businesses to become market leaders by accelerating content delivery and innovative digital experiences. It helps users get value from your content faster by removing barriers between developer and marketing teams and offering an intuitive, scalable, and intelligent platform to deliver digital experiences from idea to success.
Brands such as Adidas, T-Mobile, Renault, Oatly, and over 200,000 other developers and marketers across more than 130 countries use Storyblok to create better content experiences.
Dominik Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder of Storyblok, said: “Consumers expect great and consistent content experiences wherever they are. But businesses are having a hard time keeping up. In fact, our research found that 48% of businesses are embarrassed by their website. Storyblok already helps thousands of teams to develop and deliver the modern content experiences people love, while also providing best-in-class ROI. With this new funding, we will invest in building AI and automation tools to help teams get value from their content even faster throughout the entire content lifecycle.”
