San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2021

Kandji has announced $60 million Series B funding led by Felicis Ventures with participation from SVB Capital, Greycroft, Okta Ventures, and The Spruce House Partnership. The funding underscores the fast-growing market opportunity around Apple in the enterprise as companies look to Kandji for device management that streamlines the most common and complex tasks for Apple IT administrators and enables remote work deployments to get up and running quickly and securely. The investment comes on the heels of a $21 million Series A funding round in October, and includes funds from First Round Capital, which has participated in each of Kandji's four investment rounds to date. Kandji has raised a total of $88.5 million since it was founded in 2018.

"We see our investment in Kandji as an unprecedented opportunity," commented Niki Pezeshki, partner at Felicis Ventures. "Kandji has not only impressed us with their technical vision for next-generation Apple device management, protection, and compliance, but perhaps more importantly they have demonstrated the skill to capture a growing share of an expanding mobile device management (MDM) market. We are confident the Kandji team will continue to deliver on the outsized potential ahead."

"Working hand-in-hand with our customers, we are solving the needs of even the most sophisticated companies.
