Seattle Tech Quote of the Week
“Sirion’s superpower is that it goes beyond the operational efficiencies of traditional CLM to monitor and manage performance against the terms of the contract after the contract has been signed. Bringing to life complex objects like obligations, service levels and pricing mechanisms and using this to realize hard-dollar savings is a harder path but ultimately offers much broader business value for our customers.” — Ajay Agrawal, founder and CEO of SirionLabs
SirionLabs added $25M to its Series D. The contract lifecycle management company announced an additional capital injection from Brookfield Growth. The funding follows the company’s previously announced Series D back in May, capping the round at $110 million. With the money, SirionLabs plans to advance its artificial intelligence capabilities and add new tech integrations. [Built In LA]
