David hits Goliath: Attio raises $52m from Google Ventures
Attio just raised $52 million from Google Ventures in Series B. Here's my thoughts on what it means for Attio for the rest of the year and beyond.
UK tech doesn’t get news like this every day. But every so often, a company punches through. This is one of those moments. Attio just raised $52 million in Series B funding. GV led the round.
That might sound like typical startup news. Another round. More capital. But this one hits differently. GV doesn’t lead often, and when they do, it’s almost always a bet on structural change. Slack, GitLab, Uber are three examples. Companies that started out audacious / unfeasible and ended up obvious.
That’s what makes this so meaningful. Series B isn’t about feasibility anymore, it’s about momentum. It means Attio found its market, customers stuck around, and the engine is now spinning fast enough to scale. With force.
