Nov 2020Series FSequoia Capital (lead); TCV (lead); Dragoneer; Go4it Capital; Jackson Square Ventures; Madrone Capital Partners$110M$1.5BStrava, a San Francisco-based social fitness tracking platform for athletes focused on running, cycling, and other activities, raised $110 million in a Series F funding round on November 16, 2020, led by TCV and Sequoia Capital, with participation from Dragoneer Investment Group, Madrone Capital Partners, Jackson Square Ventures, and Go4it Capital. The round valued the company at $1.5 billion, according to Sacra estimates. Funds were intended to accelerate development of new features, expand user reach, and enhance community tools like virtual competitions and goal-setting. The platform emphasizes social networking aspects, with a free app on iOS and Android offering premium subscription features. In 2020, Strava experienced rapid growth amid COVID-19 lockdowns, adding over 2 million new users (athletes) per month and reaching 70 million total members across 195 countries. The company launched over 60 new features for subscribers and made Strava Metro—a service providing aggregated, anonymized user data to over 300 city governments and urban planners for safer pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure—free for public agencies. This period marked a shift from niche to mainstream appeal as outdoor activities surged with gym closures. Strava's asset-light model, centered on software without hardware dependencies, positioned it resiliently against competitors like Peloton. By 2020, it logged around 30 million activities per week, growing to 40 million by 2022. Later developments included a 2025 funding round at $2.2 billion valuation with Sequoia leading, alongside acquisitions like The Breakaway and Runna, and plans for a US public listing to fund further growth.

Subsequent rounds included Series E in 2017 and a prominent Series F in 2020 raising $110 million led by TCV and Sequoia Capital with participation from Dragoneer, Madrone Capital Partners, Jackson Square Ventures, and Go4it Capital, valuing the company over $1.5 billion amid COVID-driven user growth of 35% in six months to around 70 million total users. Total funding accumulated exceeded $150 million by 2020 across seven rounds. Strava has expanded with offices in Denver, Hanover, NH, and Bristol, UK, employing around 200 in San Francisco at that time, growing to 4800 later. Recent developments include acquisitions of Recover Athletics and FATMAP in 2022-2023, IPO considerations, and a $2.2 billion valuation in May of a later year.
Mar 2013Series CJackson Square Ventures (lead); Sigma Partners$7M-Strava raised $7.3 million in its Series C funding round in March 2013 from Jackson Square Ventures and Sigma Partners.
