There’s only a handful of companies whose office happy hour might feature a cameo from Mark Wahlberg, A-list actor and part-owner of the Wahlburgers restaurant chain.
But Raydiant, a three-year-old San Francisco retail technology startup, is one of them. And the office has more reason to celebrate now that it has secured $13 million in Series A funding from a cohort of mainly venture capital investors that included the triple-threat rapper, producer, and businessman himself, the company announced Thursday.
The latest round was co-led by 8VC and Atomic with an undisclosed but “substantial” amount from Wahlberg, as well as contributions from venture firms Delta Zulu, Gaingels and BN Capital from Lerer Hippeau to bring total funding to $20 million.
