Tigerhall’s platform provides knowledge and insights from experts in the form of bite-sized content such as short videos, podcasts, and livestreams. Companies or enterprises can use the service to upskill their employees.

The firm currently has more than 1,300 pieces of content from over 800 experts that come from various industries and countries. Its revenue has grown 10x in the past 12 months, and it now counts prominent companies such as HP, New Relic, and BNY Mellon as enterprise clients.

Tigerhall plans to use the fresh funds to expand its coverage in the US and Asia-Pacific markets and roll out a feature that allows users to book 15-minute mentorship sessions with an expert.
