Spike, the workplace communications app, has raised $8 million in a Series A fundraising round backed by Insight Partners and Zoom CEO Eric Yuan.
The firm, founded in 2017 by Israeli entrepreneurs Dvir Ben-Aroya and Erez Pilosof, promises users a seamless experience with email, instant messaging, video calls, and task management combined in a single platform.
"We use so many applications to keep track of our work now," Ben-Aroya told Business Insider. "Emails, Slack, Zoom, Google Docs, calendars, and so on. We thought it made much more sense to put them in the same place."
Spike previously raised $5 million in a seed round last March, backed by Yuan, website design firm Wix, and venture capital firm NFX.
