“The completion of Series C funding represents a significant step forward for UVeye and our plans to expand in Europe and the U.S.,” Amir Hever, UVeye’s chief executive officer and co-founder, said in a statement Wednesday.
The funding values the company at $300 million to $500 million, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked to not be identified because the valuation isn’t public. A representative for UVeye declined to comment on the valuation.
