Hikeโ€™s latest round of funding came in August 2021, where we raised capital from the worldโ€™s best product innovators & investors. The round was led by Justin Mateen (Co-Founder, Tinder). Rajeev Misra (CEO, SoftBank Vision Fund), Sean Rad (Co-Founder, Tinder), Arjun Sethi (Co-Founder & Partner, Tribe Capital), Bhavin Turakhia (Co-Founder, Zeta & Titan), Kunal Shah (Founder, Cred), Binny Bansal (Co-Founder, Flipkart), Aditya Agarwal (Partner in Residence, South Park Commons), Kunal Bahl (Co-Founder & CEO, Snapdeal) & Rohit Kumar Bansal (Co-Founder, Snapdeal), also participated in the round.

The way we see it is weโ€™ve been dropped off on a mountain thatโ€™s unexplored, without a map and itโ€™s our job to figure things out. Itโ€™s an opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to do our life's best
