Danish software firm receives US$17.2 million funding

Today, Templafy, a Danish based company providing a SaaS platform delivering brand governance and productivity across enterprise business communications, announced it raised $17.2 million in its Series B round.

COPENHAGEN / NEW YORK / LONDON – 13 February, 2018

New York-based venture capital and private equity firm Insight Venture Partners led the round with participation from new investor, London-based Dawn Capital and existing Series A investors SEED Capital, Preben Damgaard and other private investors.

The funding will be used to accelerate Templafy’s ambitious growth plan, which includes scaling operations, expanding its product and integrations offering, and ultimately helping even more enterprises worldwide solve what Templafy calls ‘Document Anarchy.’

Templafy currently works with Big Four professional services firms, Magic Circle law firms, and multinational brands to ensure that the thousands of business documents, presentations and emails created by employees everyday are on-brand and compliant.

“Our product has proven valuable and integral to the enterprise software ecosystem and is well established internationally. Our customers understand the importance of brand consistency, smart document creation and futureproof systems, which is why they choose Templafy. Our partnership with Insight Venture Partners and Dawn will provide significant expertise for scaling and positioning Templafy and will allow to us continue to improve our product features and integrations for our current and future customers” says Templafy’s CEO, Jesper Theill Eriksen.

Templafy’s deep understanding of the evolving enterprise brand management needs has propelled the company’s growth and established the firm as an industry leader in brand governance and related workflow,” said Jeff Horing, founder and Managing Director at Insight Venture Partners. “We’re looking forward to partnering with the Templafy team to create further opportunity, capture more value, and ultimately scale the firm’s success to the next level.”

“Templafy’s offering is a natural fit for the Cloud,” said Joyce Liu, Principal at Dawn Capital. “Global enterprises can now ensure local employees are using the appropriate templated contracts, disclosures, and localized content consistent with relevant rules but bound by global corporate brand guidelines. We are excited to partner with Templafy, helping the business to further fuel its international expansion.”

Jonathan Rosenbaum and Teddie Wardi from Insight Venture Partners will join Templafy’s Board of Directors. Insight and Dawn have been welcomed by existing Templafy investors.

“As the first investor, we are delighted to see how Templafy has evolved. With their deep domain knowledge and the right team in place Templafy is now unleashing its full potential. Templafy has been validated further by winning global enterprise customers as well as attracting Insight Venture Partners and Dawn as new investors. Insight and Dawn know this space and will pave the way for accelerating their presence in the US and UK markets.” Says Lars Andersen, General Partner in Denmark’s largest early-stage venture fund, SEED Capital Denmark.
