Hey everyone! 👋

In January this year, Dovetail announced their Series A funding of $63 million led by Accel Ventures, keeping their existing investors, and have raised their valuation to USD 700 million. Dovetail has now grown into a flourishing team of 65 people with more than 2,600 paying customers.
Dovetail’s community is new but not uninitiated. In 2021, the online community grew to over 3,500 people across product, design, and research, from all corners of the world.
”We don’t just want our community to be the fastest place to receive product support or provide feedback. We want it to be a place for you to learn, connect, and be challenged about creating impact with customer research within your organisation” - Team Dovetail
