The company also intends to use a portion of the funding round proceeds to further grow its presence in the United States.
“The U.S. is our largest and fastest growing market, and we‘re expanding our American workforce to accelerate our momentum. 1NCE already delivers at an incredibly high quality with consistency and industry-defining endpoint availability of 99.97%. This funding further increases our ability to expand our competitive advantage across the world,” said Ivo Rook, Co-Chief Executive Officer of 1NCE.
1NCE also plans to leverage the new funding to broaden its product portfolio for use cases across dozens of industry verticals. The company is preparing the launch of its next generation platform to further cement 1NCE as one of the preeminent destinations for IoT. And for customers already using the 1NCE OS software for their AI projects, the company plans to launch new features soon. The company believes that AI growth will fuel adoption of IoT, with customers eager to ramp up data collection that strengthens their AI-driven engines.
