Uniphore, the leader in conversational automation today announced its Series E funding round of $400 million.

The market for automating enterprise conversations has rapidly accelerated in the past few years as companies recognize the impact of positive customer interactions on their brand image and customer loyalty.

“Understanding conversations and the data and insights derived from them is essential to every business,” said Umesh Sachdev, CEO and co-founder, Uniphore. “Our conversational automation engine has been delivering powerful and innovative solutions to help enterprises not just survive but thrive amidst all the demands placed on them by customers. It is an incredibly exciting time to be in this industry and at Uniphore, with a rapidly growing customer base and unparalleled talent joining our leadership team and board of directors. I am looking forward to working with businesses around the world to help drive their success in 2022.”

Uniphore’s rapid growth rate has also warranted new additions to its team. Announced today is the appointment of Hilarie Koplow-McAdams, Venture Partner, NEA, to Uniphore’s Board of Directors. Mrs. Koplow-McAdams is a seasoned enterprise software and services executive who brings more than three decades of experience for both growth-stage and established companies.

In addition to two major acquisitions – Emotion Research Lab for added capabilities in emotion AI, and Jacada, for enhanced low-code/no-code capabilities – Uniphore celebrated other key milestones in 2021, including:

  • Named as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in North America on the 2021 Deloitte Technology Fast 500
