总部位于伦敦的API管理平台将利用资金开拓新市场并加速产品开发伦敦，2021年9月17日-总部位于伦敦的全球科技公司Tyk今天宣布，已完成由新投资者Scottish equity Partners (SEP)和现有投资者MMC Ventures领投的3500万美元增长股权融资。Tyk的创新API管理解决方案有助于在高度监管的行业(如金融服务、医疗保健和政府)构建关键任务系统。法国兴业银行(Societe Generale)、星巴克(Starbucks)和达美乐(Domino’s)等世界上一些最大的企业都在使用它。随着企业重新发明他们的工作方式，软件现在是跨多个云、位置和团队构建的。api是其中的支柱，Tyk的技术使现代工程团队能够在一个功能丰富的单一平台中监控、保护和管理其组织的所有api。这笔投资将加速Tyk领先的独立、开源API和服务管理平台的开发。该公司计划在未来12个月内将员工人数增加一倍，计划增加其英国团队，并将其在美国的业务扩展到西海岸，并在德国、澳大利亚和新西兰开设新办事处。Tyk的首席执行官和联合创始人Martin Buhr说:“api无处不在。在网上订了披萨?这要感谢api。 Just applied for a credit card? That’s APIs from start to finish. The modern enterprise is at its core an API company, and those that want to survive are expanding their API ecosystems rapidly. With that growth comes an increasing need to manage, monitor and secure that complexity. “At Tyk, we make that easy,” Buhr continued. “We’re a progressive, global, remote-first, open-source company that puts our customers at the heart of everything we do, while pushing the envelope with continued market-leading innovation. That makes us an ideal partner for enterprises that are transitioning into, or levelling-up their API game.” “We received interest from a number of investors and are delighted to be partnering with SEP for the next stage of our growth,” said James Hirst, COO and co-founder of Tyk . “The funds will be used to continue disrupting the software industry by providing innovative solutions that empower our clients’ teams and put developers firmly in the driving seat when it comes to building and managing new products and services. Only a small number of enterprises have started their API management journey, and we know the sector has huge potential for growth and we’re excited for what the next few years will bring.” Martin Brennan, Director at SEP said: “Martin and James have built a world-class team and the addition of this new capital will enable Tyk to accelerate the growth of its API management platform, particularly around the GraphQL focused Universal Data Graph product that launched earlier this year. We are pleased to be supporting the team to achieve their global ambitions.” Keith Davidson, Partner at SEP, joins the Tyk board as a non-executive director.
