Last month we announced our newest addition to our portfolio, where we led the €11.5m Series B investment round in Tresorit, a rapidly emerging leader which provides end-to-end encrypted file sync & sharing for businesses. Tresorit provides zero-knowledge encryption technology and unique encryption key management and guarantees on-premise equivalent security for businesses while offering consumer-grade simplicity. With more than 17.000 customers and recurring revenue growth rate of 3x every year in the last three years, Tresorit now aims to further accelerate its growth by building on the rising demand for secure cloud solutions that protect against data breaches. Previously Tresorit raised its seed and Series A rounds from local VC and angel investors in Hungary. Now we are excited to support them as their follow-on investor in their next chapter of growth. The proceeds from the new round will be used to broaden management team, to scale up marketing and sales teams and to work together with new channel partners to further expand its global reach.

Piano CEO Trevor Kaufman Talks About Collaboration with Business Insider
- Data shows that asking people to turn off their ad blockers is a gateway to consuming more content, perhaps because they feel that they’ve bought something.
- Shifts are happening with how journalists rate the value of their stories – the pageview metric was once the holy grail. Now journalists can see how their work can drive a different kind of consumer engagement and subscription revenue to the company.
- Further, publishers that optimize for social and scale are producing one kind of content. Optimizing for subscription engagement can be another type of content.
- Visit frequency is paramount in the subscription business and Business Insider draws readers in with a guest pass. The guest pass provides a great opportunity to incentivize return visits via newsletter teasers.
