We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised an $80 million round led by Mamoon Hamid from Kleiner Perkins. This funding will help support the maker generation and the 25,000+ teams already using Coda.
About the round
Mamoon Hamid — a highly respected B2B venture capitalist and early investor in companies like Slack, Figma, and Intercom — will be joining Coda’s board. He believes in Coda’s vision of enabling anyone to build tools as powerful as apps.
Joining him are several other new investors:
- S. Somasegar (Madrona Venture Group) — resonated with Coda’s mission, especially after seeing Madrona’s own internal use of Coda.
- Michael Skok (Underscore VC) — spoke with teams actively using Coda and was impressed by how adaptable Coda docs can be.
- Roseanne Wincek (Renegade Partners) — believes in the power of the maker generation and invested as Renegade’s first investment.
- Rohini Chakravarthy (NGP Capital) — focused on future of work and enterprise, inspired by Coda’s Packs ecosystem and its potential.
- David Hawkins (Hawk Equity) — sees Coda as essential for businesses adapting to future work needs.
These new investors join existing backers like Greylock, General Catalyst, and Khosla Ventures, plus several prominent angel investors from tech and beyond.
What it means for Coda
With this new backing, Coda plans to focus on three major themes:
1. Invest in the fundamentals
Make Coda more solid, performant, and reliable — especially for larger teams and enterprises with needs like data control, security, and connectivity.
2. Make simple things easy
Continue refining everyday workflows (e.g., meeting notes or project briefs) to be as smooth and bug-free as possible.
3. Build the ecosystem of docs and Packs
Coda wants to grow its doc community and extend its ecosystem by supporting developers and third-party integrations (Packs) even more.
We’re hiring!
To help build all this, Coda is hiring across many teams — especially engineering and go-to-market roles. If you’re passionate about empowering others to build their own tools, they’d love to hear from you.
Closing thanks
Coda also thanks its users — called makers — for reporting bugs, publishing docs, and advocating for the product. They’re looking forward to what makers will build next.
