Chatbot startups raise millions in funding, reach unicorn status.
Axios HQ, the communications software company that spun off of Axios last year, has raised $20 million in Series A funding at nearly a $100 million post-money valuation. The company is leveraging the brand equity and trust built by Axios to attract clients that need better email communication tools to reach internal and external stakeholders. Proceeds will be used to help HQ scale its suite of tools and services that it currently uses to service over 500 enterprise clients. Axios HQ is leaning heavily into artificial intelligence tools to help its clients write clearer emails.
