Website design platform Framer said on Thursday it had notched a valuation of $2 billion while raising $100 million in its latest funding round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series D round, led by current investors Meritech and Atomico, highlights venture capitalists’ optimism in software startups that help companies build professional websites with minimal developer involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimism around potential U.S. interest rate cuts and a strong equities market has also encouraged capital flows back into growth-stage companies, following a long spell of muted startup funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Framer was founded in 2015 in Amsterdam by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk, who previously worked at Meta’s (META.O), opens new tab<\/a> Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers a design software used to make interactive prototypes for iOS, Android, desktop, and the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Framer raised, opens new tab<\/a> $27 million in its last funding round in September 2023, and counts startups such as Scale AI, Perplexity, Miro and Bilt among its customers. The company has around half a million monthly active users, it said in its statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VCs poured $162.8 billion into deals in the first half of the year, about 30% of which went towards late-stage fundings, according to data from PitchBook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
