Georgian’s Lead Investor Emily Walsh will join the Contentstack board
Canadian and American investors have backed Mumbai-based Contentstack’s US$80 million Series C funding for continuing to support enterprise companies.
Toronto’s Georgian and Insight Partners of New York co-led the round with participation from Illuminate Ventures from California. All three companies continue to grow their investment with Contentstack, contributing to a US$169 million total raised thus far.
The company said the funds are to continue supporting enterprise companies on their path to composable, empowering them to meet consumer demand for omnichannel and personalized experiences.
“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 Georgian’s Lead Investor Emily Walsh who will join the Contentstack board along with Contentstack CFO David Overmyer.
“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 content management systems (CMS) market.
“We are proud to co-lead this round and provide the Company with the support required for true category leadership,” Walsh said on 15 Nov 2022.
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,” said Patel.

By automating and streamlining hundreds of activities across technologies and vendors in real-time, enterprises can now more aggressively retire costly legacy CMS. This also allows them to unlock digital experience innovation more broadly and realize a significantly greater return-on-investment.

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.
