Algolia will use the funds to support its tremendous growth by focusing on further global expansion across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific. The new funding will also support research and development teams to continue innovating and evolving Algolia’s Search-as-a-Service platform, focusing on personalization, machine learning, and voice search capabilities.
