Confetti is a standout startup that counts Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta among its prestigious clientele. But its reach extends beyond these tech giants to include other industry leaders like Zoom, Netflix, Stripe, TikTok, Shopify, Adobe, LinkedIn, and HubSpot, catering to 30% of the Fortune 500 companies.
With a total of 8,000 companies on board, Confetti has achieved impressive growth even amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, forcing a rapid business model transformation in response to the shift to remote work.
CEO and co-founder Lee Rubin reveals that these companies utilize Confetti for various purposes throughout the year, from seasonal events to team-building exercises and wellness initiatives.
Currently boasting a revenue run-rate of $12 million, Confetti expects this figure to rise to $15-$20 million by the end of the year. To fuel its expansion, the company has secured a $16 million Series A funding round led by Israel’s Entrée Capital & IN Ventures.
