SaaS startup Saltmine raises US$20m in Series A funding round

The funding round was led by Singapore-based Jungle Ventures.

Singapore-based venture capital firm Jungle Ventures led SaaS startup Saltmine’s Series A funding round that raised more than $$26.38m (US$20m).

The round also saw a new investment from JLL Spark, the investment arm of commercial real estate services firm JLL. JLL has also entered into an agreement to sell Saltmine’s software directly to its customers.

Founded in 2017, the US-based startup will use the new funding to continue its investment in talent acquisition – with a focus on growing its sales, customer success, product and engineering team in Singapore. It will also expand its portfolio of Global 2000 companies. In addition, this will accelerate the firm’s growth in Asia Pacific, particularly in markets like Australia, Hong Kong, India, and Singapore.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
