Whatfix, a leading digital adoption platform, has successfully raised $125 million in its Series E funding round. This significant investment was led by Warburg Pincus, with participation from existing investor SoftBank Vision Fund 2. The funds will be utilized to expand Whatfix’s market presence and enhance its product offerings, reinforcing its position as a leader in the digital adoption space.
Expansion and Innovation
Whatfix plans to use the new funds to accelerate its expansion into new markets, including the US, EMEA, and APAC regions. This strategic move aims to strengthen its footprint in the global public sector. The company has already shown remarkable growth, with a 4.5x increase in annual recurring revenue since its last funding round in 2021. This growth is attributed to the launch of new products and the acquisition of key clients, including 80+ Fortune 500 companies.
The investment will also fuel innovation within Whatfix’s integrated product suite. By incorporating GenAI and other advanced technologies, Whatfix aims to enhance its digital adoption, product analytics, and application simulation capabilities. This user-first approach ensures that technology adapts to users, not the other way around, maximizing ROI for enterprises.
Strategic Acquisitions
In addition to organic growth, Whatfix plans to pursue strategic acquisitions to further solidify its market leadership. The company has already secured five US patents, with 18 more in the pipeline, showcasing its commitment to innovation. These acquisitions will enable Whatfix to expand its category leadership and offer more comprehensive solutions to its clients.
Whatfix’s CEO, Khadim Batti, emphasized the importance of this investment in driving the company’s future growth. He highlighted the launch of four new products since 2021 and the company’s top-decile performance in the digital adoption market. This investment will provide the necessary resources to continue this trajectory and reshape the future of software adoption.
Market Leadership
Whatfix’s dominance in the digital adoption platform market is further reinforced by its inclusion in Gartner’s 2023 Market Guide. The guide projects that 70% of organizations will use digital adoption platforms by 2025, underscoring the critical role these platforms play in enterprise success. Whatfix has been recognized as the top DAP on Deloitte Tech Fast 500™ for three consecutive years and is the only DAP vendor to receive Customer’s Choice in the Gartner Peer Insights 2024 Voice of Customers for DAP report.
The company’s innovative approach, termed “Userization,” shifts the responsibility to technology, ensuring it adapts to users. This strategy has resonated with clients, leading to significant growth and market recognition. With the new investment, Whatfix is well-positioned to continue leading the digital adoption market and delivering unparalleled value to its customers.
