[Jobs Roundup] Fresh from its $251M fundraise, fintech unicorn CRED is hiring across these roles
Founded in 2018, CRED is a credit card payment platform that rewards users with points for paying their bills. It has expanded its portfolio of services to include rent payments and personal loans as it seeks to become a full-fledged financial services provider.
Earlier this week, Kunal Shah-founded fintech unicorn raised $251 million in a Series E round of funding at a valuation of $4.01 billion.
The round was co-led by existing backers Tiger Global and Falcon Edge, and also saw new investors— Marshall Wace and Steadfast— bet on the startup. Existing investors such as DST Global, Insight Partners, Coatue, Sofina, RTP, and Dragoneer also increased their investments in CRED, according to sources.
The latest funding round almost doubles CRED's valuation. The startup entered the unicorn club in April this year at a $2.2 billion valuation with a $215 million fund raise from Falcon Edge and Coatue Management. Earlier in January, CRED was valued at around $800 million.
This is the third fundraise for CRED so far in 2021, with the startup securing fresh capital January and April this year.
