VIRAR, MUMBAI, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 15, 2022
Contentstack, the Content Experience Platform (CXP) category leader and composable architecture pioneer, today announced $80 million in Series C funding. Georgian and Insight Partners co-led the round with participation from Illuminate Ventures. All three companies continue to grow their investment with Contentstack, contributing to a $169 million total raised thus far. The Company will use the funds to continue supporting enterprise companies on their path to composable, empowering them to meet consumer demand for omnichannel and personalized experiences.
Georgian’s Lead Investor Emily Walsh will join the Contentstack board along with Contentstack CFO David Overmyer.
“We look for high-growth companies with great leadership and a strong work culture. We also love to help disruptors do what they do best,” said Walsh. “For all these reasons, we chose to double down on our investment. Contentstack’s ability to ensure customers are successful while also innovating at record speeds positions them as the leader in the CMS market. We are proud to co-lead this round and provide the Company with the support required for true category leadership.”
Contentstack is the largest homegrown Indian CMS representing global brands like Chase, Holiday Inn, Levi’s, Mattel, McDonald's, Mitsubishi, and Shell. The Company will also use the funds to continue to grow and recruit in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune and Virar-Mumbai.
"We are super excited to be among the fastest growing SaaS companies in India,” said Nishant Patel, Contentstack’s co-founder and CTO. “Contentstack was incubated in India-based Raw Engineering before it was spun out to take on a more global presence in 2018. Our mission is to help support and drive massive growth in the Indian startup ecosystem. Recently sponsoring the NASSCOM Product Conclave helped energize that mission; you can expect more of that to come.”
As the only headless CMS offering a solution to “integration hell” with Automation Hub, Contentstack delivers a viable path to composable for enterprises.

With Automation Hub and Care Without Compromise, Contentstack is again at the forefront of the composable movement, which strives to set customers up for success in today’s rapidly changing business and technology landscape.
