🥹 Don’t mind us as we get emotional over here for a moment. 🎉 Today, we are elated to announce that Kong Inc. has raised $175 million in a Series E funding round, bringing our valuation to $2 billion!!! 🎉 From humble beginnings of a small garage in Milan to a thriving San Francisco tech startup, see the dream of our founders and partners coming to life is simply unreal.  APIs are the backbone of today’s most innovative technology—from connecting enterprise software to fueling GenAI advancements–and Kong is at the center of this transformative digital era.  🗣️ “As we continue to see a worldwide surge in demand for API calls – propelled most recently by the rise of LLMs – Kong is uniquely positioned to help our customers consolidate desperate API systems and enable “the software assembly line” of the AI era.” - Augusto Marietti, Kong CEO and Co-founder “We’re helping customers across industries — from startups to Fortune 500® enterprises — accelerate their time to market, scale AI capabilities and reduce operational risks.” - Marco Palladino, Kong CTO and Co-founder This is just the beginning. Onward and upward! 🦍🚀 #KongPin #APIs #AI TechNews #BusinessMilestone #SeriesE #TechStartup
