On June 16, 2025, Juniper Square, renowned as a leader in connected fund software for private markets, announced a significant milestone. The company successfully closed its Series D financing round, securing $130 million led by Ribbit Capital, with strategic backing from Fifth Wall and participation from Redpoint Ventures, HighSage Ventures, Blue Owl Capital, and others.

This injection of capital is poised to accelerate the development of JunieAI, a pioneering enterprise-grade AI solution tailored specifically for General Partners (GPs) in the private markets sector.
