A giraffe can reach speeds of up to 35 mph when it wants to!](https://www.jirav.com/hubfs/giraffe-galloping-1200x628.jpg) If there’s one fact that most everyone knows about the amazing giraffe, it’s that it is the tallest animal in the world. That means it has a great view of the landscape in all directions. We named our company after the giraffe because our goal is to give you the best view possible when it comes to understanding where your business has been, and where it’s going. What most people don’t know about giraffes is how fast they are. A giraffe can reach speeds of [up to 35 mph](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4oQgMTV67s) when it wants to! Today, like a motivated giraffe, we’re increasing the speed of our company. I’m pleased to announce that Jirav has secured our [Series A funding](https://www.einpresswire.com/article/521873454/jirav-secures-more-than-8-million-in-series-a-funding-led-by-information-venture-partners) led by [Information Venture Partners](https://www.informationvp.com/). Additional investors include [Seven Peaks Ventures](http://sevenpeaksventures.com/) (SPV), [NextWorld Capital](https://www.nextworldcap.com/) and many prominent angel investors with deep domain expertise in the areas of Fintech, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), corporate performance management (CPM) and world-class cloud accounting software. The funding is significant not just for what it can do for us as a company, but even more importantly, what it will do for our customers around the world. This funding will accelerate product development so we can add new features, new capabilities, and improve outcomes for our users. In addition to this, we’ll continue expanding our team worldwide, further improving upon our service & dedication to our customers. Jirav will help small and medium-sized businesses survive this recession and thrive when the economy recovers. Our team is energized for the challenge. As we cross this milestone, our focus and commitment has never been greater on delivering tremendous insights and value for our customers to help them see ahead and move fast into the future—just as our mascot, the mighty giraffe, does everyday.
