London-based Microblink, which claims to be a global leader in AI-powered computer vision software announced that it has closed $60M (nearly €49M). Microblink’s founders have bootstrapped the company into a profitable business by building verticalised computer vision products that help businesses digitise documents, automate processes, and eliminate manual data entry.

Gets first funding

The investment was led by a Boston-based growth equity firm – Silversmith Capital Partners. Notably, this is the first time Microblink has obtained funds from outside since its debut in 2013. The partnership will let Microblink accelerate growth in key business areas such as product development, and expanding its team.

“As enterprises increasingly move towards automation, we are excited to reinvest in our existing business and explore new ways our computer vision platform can solve pain points for companies across a variety of industries,” says Darren Bassman, co-founder & CEO of Microblink.

With this investment, Silversmith General Partner, Sri Rao has joined Microblink’s Board of Directors alongside Bassman and Microblink co-founder Damir Sabol.
