The financing will also help Kenshoo more aggressively create new opportunities for brands and agencies to address the entire purchase funnel while driving revenue across channels and devices.

“Tenaya has had amazing success with such leaders as Kayak and Zappos and we’re humbled to have them as partners,” said Yoav Izhar-Prato, co-founder and chief executive officer of Kenshoo.

He added: “The Tenaya team shares our core values around integrity and tenacity so it was a natural cultural fit. We look forward to tapping their resources and expertise to bring even more value for our clients, employees, and shareholders.”
