Existing investors Emergence Capital, Caffeinated Capital and Pear VC also contributed to this round.
The latest infusion brings Federato’s total funding to $80m.
StepStone Group partner John Avirett said: “We have been closely following Federato’s rapid growth over the past five years as an LP [limited partner] in several organisations who have been investors in the company since inception. Founders Will and William’s deep expertise in AI and their dedication to bringing a true vertical AI product to the insurance industry is impressive. Federato’s fast-growing customer base is a testament to the impact they have already delivered.
Last year, Federato raised $25m in Series B funding, with Caffeinated Capital leading the round.
