Jun 04, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Storyblok, an Austrian startup offering a content management system (CMS) for organizations, has raised $80 million in a Series C funding round led by Brighton Park Capital. The company plans to use the funds to expand further into Europe and the U.S., and to integrate new automation and AI tooling. Storyblok is also launching a beta of Ideation Room, a collaborative space within its platform that uses AI to improve content creation. The company, which has raised $138 million to date, is working with OpenAI on the AI tooling.

The company's CEO, Dominik Angerer, estimates the CMS market to be worth $20 billion to $25 billion annually. Storyblok's platform is used by both developers and non-technical workers, with customers including Adidas, T-Mobile, Renault, and Oatly. The company, which has more than doubled its user base since its last funding round in 2022, expects to reach profitability by the end of 2025.
