Contxto – Business optimization platform Pipefy recently raised a whopping US$45 million Series B lead by Insight Partners. Other investors included Openview and Trinity Ventures, both of which helped the enterprise raise a US$16 million Series A in 2018 among other funds.

“Our vision is to empower every do-er in an organization to create and execute their own custom workflows,” said Alionço. “We are excited to bring the benefits of Lean Management to managers in every business — without needing technical skills or lean training.”
