Tera Ventures participates in Brainbase $8M series A investment round
Brainbase, the technology platform that helps companies manage any licensing, partnership or sponsorship agreement from end-to-end in a single platform, raised an $8 million Series A financing led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Nosara Capital with participation from Alpha Edison, Struck Capital, Bonfire Ventures, FJ Labs, Tera Ventures, Sterling Road, Spencer Lazar, Michael Stoppelman, former senior vice president of engineering at Yelp, Jenny Fleiss, co-founder of Rent The Runway, and David Fraga, president of InVision.
As the creator of the IP licensing platform Brainbase Assist, the company aims to use this funding to build a payments feature for licensors to expedite payments from licensees, as well as build Marketplace, a new solution to showcase, connect, and close deals with globally recognized and emerging brands, celebrities, athletes and influencers entirely online. Marketplace is currently accepting new waitlist sign-ups at brainbase.com/marketplace.
“We need to stay focused on building the best platform for brands that own and license their IP,” said Brainbase co-founder and CEO Nate Cavanaugh. “With a strong bench of investors and advisors who believe in our vision to make the intellectual property industry more open, efficient and accessible, we are prepared for our next stage of growth. In 2020, Brainbase plans to nearly double in size, making key hires across sales, product, and engineering in the U.S. and Europe.”
