Online customer tracker raises French tech record $500 million -report
Summary
PARIS, May 25 (Reuters) - French startup Contentsquare, which helps companies analyse their online customers’ surfing habits, raised $500 million from SoftBank Vision Fund 2, newspaper Les Echos reported on Tuesday, saying that was a record for the French tech ecosystem. The new funding round values the company, founded in 2012 by Frenchman Jonathan Cherki, at $2.8 billion. The company has developed software that analyses a customer’s mouse movements on a screen or tracks the time spent on a page. The COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many customers to buy online as shops were shut down, has boosted Contentsquare, whose founder now lives in New York, Les Echos said.
