Cord announced $17.5 million in Series A funding.

Cord, a London, UK-based developer of an API solution for aggregating software solutions within one tool, announced completing a finding round totalling $17.5 million in equity.

The money was raised from investors led by Index Ventures, and joined by NFX and Stride, along with angel investors Elad Gil, Jeff Morris Jr., Charlie Songhurst, Guy Podjarni and Matt Robinson.

Cord, founded in 2020 by CEO Nimrod Priell and Jackson Gabbard, developed an API that enables paying customers to quickly add a range of collaborative features to their own products, taking the strain out of developing social add-ons like real-time chat, presence, annotations, integrations with task managers and Slack, screen recordings, audio messages, live co-browsing and video chat.

Prior to this round, Cord raised funding from NFX, Chapter One and Stride.
