A special shout out to Xero CFO Ross Jenkins who has built relationships with the smartest investors in the industry and drove this round – bringing it together quickly and professionally. Also a sincere thanks to James Lee from First New Zealand Capital who worked hard with our local investors and many parties overseas.
