Local startup GetUpside this week announced that it has secured $65 million in equity financing and $100 million in debt financing.
The latest funding is from General Catalyst with participation from existing investors including Bessemer Ventures and Builders VC. This latest round brings Upside’s valuation to $1.5 billion. The company also announced that it is rebranding the name of its app from GetUpside to Upside, to reflect its belief that it offers “upside” for customers and businesses alike.
Upside said it will use the latest funding to accelerate user growth, expand into new retail categories, invest in product development and hire more talent.
