COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Benefits, the digitally-led employee benefits company, today announced that it raised $40 million, bringing the company’s total funding to over $200 million and increasing its valuation by 25% since the company’s Series E raise in early 2021.
The round was led by existing investor Georgian, with broad sponsorship from a combination of new, existing, and strategic partner investors.
Beam is on track to grow its revenue 40% year-over-year with its expanded benefits portfolio and continued investment in new platform capabilities. Over the past 18 months, Beam has launched six new benefits products and plans to add more in-demand products in the future.
