Venture capital firm E.ventures led the round, which also featured Lightspeed Venture Partners, Coatue, Y Combinator, Impact America, Cleo Capital and actress Gabrielle Union.
Founded in 2018, Flockjay provides training in technology sales with a focus on demographic groups traditionally underrepresented in the space. It will put part of the series A proceeds into developing its alumni networking services.
