The Series F round was led by Sixth Street Growth, which joins new and existing investors Bpifrance, Canaan, Eurazeo, Highland Europe, KKR, LionTree, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and funds and accounts managed by BlackRock. 

The debt facility contributions came from BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Société Générale.

In the past three years, the company has made a total of six acquisitions to accelerate geographic, segment, and product expansion

“This new round of investment is a testament to the boundless ambition of our team, who is laser-focused on helping businesses of all sizes deliver more human digital experiences — experiences that are seamless, frictionless, rewarding, and inspiring,” says Jonathan Cherki, CEO and Founder of Contentsquare. 

“We’re excited to keep dedicating ourselves to raising the standards of digital customer experience everywhere, and we feel this is just the beginning,” he adds. 

As a part of the funding round, Sixth Street Managing Director Benjamin Johnston will join Contentsquare’s board of directors.
