Victoria’s Certn, leader in background screening solutions, today announced that it has secured USD $50 million in Series B funding, led by B Capital.
This comes on the heels of last year’s USD $34.1 million funding raise. With this latest round, Certn will further advance its mission of building trust in people – and invest in new markets worldwide.
Techcouver named Certn one of 10 homegrown B.C. startups to watch in 2020.
Certn makes building trust simple by creating an expedited, frictionless background check experience that enables employers and candidates to embark on their working relationship with a positive foundation. Certn empowers employers to make better, faster hiring decisions in a highly competitive labor market.
Certn is rapidly expanding its global presence, building on the recent acquisition of Credence, a leading UK-based provider of global background checks. Certn plans to create 160 new roles this year and has made a number of strategic hires, including a new managing director for the U.S. market.
B Capital led the funding with seven other investors contributing, including BMO, Tribe, Inovia Capital, Telstra Ventures, Scribble, Moxxie Ventures, and Gaingels Covalent Ventures. B Capital, a strategic partner of Boston Consulting Group, plays a key role in Certn’s success by helping the company secure the right partnerships and navigate business challenges.
