Bethel Finance news:
Swedish e-commerce payments company Klarna is to hire 30 new employees for its Israel R&D center after raising $155 million in a huge financing round last week. The round was led by General Atlantic and Yuri Milner’s DST Global, and included Sequoia Capital, which led its last $9 million round in May 2010. Klarna is based in Stockholm and was founded in 2005.
In May 2011, Klarna acquired Israeli start up Analyzd for an undisclosed sum - media reports suggested it was tens of millions of dollars. Remarkably, Analyzd, which develops risk management and fraud prevention systems for e-commerce had been founded less than a year previously, and based in a garage, was self-financed by the Samet brothers Ohad and Yuval.
Analyzd, now Klarna's Israel R&D center, has since moved into new Tel Aviv offices and Yuval Samet told "Calcalist" that the Israeli center, which has 20 employees, will now be hiring 30 more following the injection of capital into Klarna.
