This latest funding will support our aggressive product roadmap, addressing the full breadth of challenges and opportunities defining the future of digital product design."
The company currently employs more than 200 people around the world, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Boston, Portland, London and Austin.

To date, the company has acquired five companies, including Macaw, Waybury, Easee, Napkin and Silver Flows.

"As software plays an increasing role in the world around us, and as customer experience increasingly drives competitive advantage, we are excited about the large and growing opportunity ahead."
