In August 2021, Dovetail raised AU$5 million at a reported valuation of "more than AU$150 million"; raising its valuation fivefold from its prior fundraising round in 2020.[5][6] Dovetail raised further Series A funding of US$63 million, led by Accel in January 2022.[7]

History

The company was founded in 2017 in Sydney, Australia by Benjamin Humphrey and Bradley Ayers.[1] Both had worked at software company Atlassian, and Humphrey claims he started Dovetail based on his experience working with researchers at the company.[1][8][9]

Prior to the company's founding, Humphrey worked on the idea in his spare time, outsourcing the product's development and financing it with a AU$10,000 credit card debt.[1] In 2017 he convinced Ayers to leave his role at Atlassian and join as co-founder.[1][10][11]

In November 2017, Dovetail was awarded the AU$25,000 minimum viable product grant from the New South Wales Department of Industry Jobs for NSW program.[12][11] The grant was awarded to fund investment in automatic sentiment analysis features.[13]

In February 2020, Dovetail announced a AU$4 million seed fundraising round led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Felicis Ventures and Culture Amp's CEO and co-founder Didier Elzinga to accelerate revenue growth.[1][10] This raise reportedly valued Dovetail at "close to AU$30 million".[6]

In August 2021, Dovetail announced that it had raised AU$5 million from existing investors Blackbird Ventures, Felicis Ventures, along with participation from Mike Cannon-Brookes' investment vehicle, Grok Ventures.[5][6][4]

In January 2022, Dovetail announced it had raised a US$63 million Series A led by Accel.[7][14] New investors also included Webflow CEO and co-founder Vlad Magdalin, CEO and co-founder of Checkr, Daniel Yanisse, and CEO and co-founder of Slack, Stewart Butterfield.[15]

In 2023, Dovetail's headquarters moved to a new office spanning 4,300 square metres over four levels located on Sydney's historic Oxford Street.[16][17] In January 2024, Ayers left the company after stepping down to an engineering role in the previous year.[18]
