To date, $277 million has been invested in Mixpanel, including its previous $65 
million Series B investment led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2014.  

The investment will be used to accelerate product development and expand 
Mixpanel's reach to new digital-first businesses, which already include 
customers like Netflix, Monday.com, Noom, and Xero. Mixpanel plans to scale its 
team in North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific over the next 12 to 18 months, 
with an emphasis on go-to-market, product, and engineering.

"Digital products are reinventing how we live our lives. From last-mile 
deliveries to fintech, to modern media businesses, we're seeing an explosion of 
innovation," said Amir Movafaghi, CEO at Mixpanel. "Mixpanel is an enabler of 
this change. We help product development teams rapidly understand what matters 
to the users of their products and services, so they can build better digital 
products centered around the customer experience."

"This investment enables us to partner with an experienced global technology 
investor in Bain Capital Tech Opportunities, and is a validation of our 
long-term product-led growth strategy," Movafaghi continued. "With this 
investment, we have the backing we need to win the massive product analytics 
market."  

"Mixpanel is at the forefront of bringing the analytics revolution to product 
development teams across the globe. The business has a hyper-focused strategy 
to continue investment in its core product analytics solution, and the 
management team is maniacally focused on delivering maximum value for customers 
— that's a winning combination," said Dewey Awad, a Managing Director at Bain 
Capital Tech Opportunities. Bain Capital Tech Opportunities has deep, firmwide 
experience in enterprise software, having invested in and scaled a wide range 
of global software companies including A Cloud Guru (acquired by Pluralsight), 
Buildertrend, BioCatch Ltd., Hudl, and When I Work.

"I've managed a lot of software vendors over the years. Most of them were 
products that people used because they had to, but Mixpanel is one of the few 
that people actually love using," said Steve Davis, Former Senior Vice 
President & General Manager of Data & AI at Expedia Group and current Chief 
Technology Officer at Babylon Health.

"We have surveyed and spoken to hundreds of Mixpanel customers. The feedback 
has been palpable on the depth of the analytics and the ROI that engineering, 
product, and design teams achieve from leveraging Mixpanel to make data-driven 
decisions," added Scott Kirk, a Partner at Bain Capital Tech Opportunities.

Leading digital companies rely on Mixpanel to drive customer and product 
insights 

As the original innovator in the rapidly-growing product analytics market, 
Mixpanel's solution helps companies easily understand how users engage with 
their websites and apps, unlocking valuable data insights to accelerate product 
innovation and improvements in the customer experience. With Mixpanel, product 
teams can identify the most popular user paths and features, drivers of 
retention and conversion, points of friction, hidden trends, and easily access 
insights to inform their product roadmap.  

Driven by the continued explosion in the everyday use of digital products and 
services, the product analytics market is poised to grow from $6B today to more 
than $20B by 2027[1]. The product analytics category is in its infancy and just 
beginning to inflect as engineering, product, and design teams have become 
increasingly aware of the return on investment from these tools.  

"Mixpanel has been a valued asset of the Dunkin' Digital Brand & Product 
Teams," said Jackie O'Leary, Senior Manager of Digital at Dunkin' and Inspire 
Brands.  "It has allowed us to better understand our users' behavior in our 
mobile app, enabled us to make data-driven decisions when planning features and 
enhancements, and also facilitated the democratization of data across our 
organization."
