Update: Discord confirms raising $100M at a valuation of $7B
The world of virtual communications continues to hold a central place in our socially-distanced lives, and today it looks like one of the companies reaping some of the spoils is also reaping some funding out of it. Discord, the chat and communications platform wildly popular with gamers and, increasingly, many others, has confirmed to us today that it has raised $100 million more in funding as it hits 140 million monthly active users, double the number it had a year ago.
We’ve confirmed with sources close to the company that the funding has come in at a $7 billion valuation, double its valuation just six months ago.
