Peloton spins its way to $325M
There’s only one way to spin this deal. [Peloton]( the provider of bikes and content that fueled the spinning craze, [closed]( a massive $325 million series E financing round led by Wellington Management, Fidelity Investments, Kleiner Perkins, and True Ventures. The round topped a big year for five-year-old Peloton, which nearly tripled its annual revenue, grew its subscriber base over three-fold, and was named by Crain’s as New York’s fastest growing company.
Appian prices IPO
Eighteen years after launching, [Appian]( is finally going public. The Reston, Va.-based company, which develops tools for building enterprise apps with less coding, priced shares at $12 each, the middle of the expected range. Appian had just over $130 million in sales last year and posted a loss of about $12 million.
Demandbase supplied with $65M
[Demandbase]( a software platform for marketers, has raised $65 million in a late stage funding round led by Sageview Capital and Silver Lake Waterman. The new financing brings total funding for the ten-year-old, San Francisco-based company to more than $150 million.
Bloomberg bets on future of work
Corporate VC Bloomberg Beta has spent the past year managing a fund that invests in the future of work. So far, [Crunchbase News finds]( that has translated into investments in areas including cybersecurity, online education, and a bit of AI.
