In Q4 last year OpenFin also expanded its footprint to the US government sector through a strategic partnership and investment from In-Q-Tel - the CIA’s investment arm - to deliver its technology to the US Intelligence and Defense Community.
Mazy Dar, CEO of OpenFin says: “OpenFin Workspace is empowering financial institutions to transform experience for their employees and their customers, replacing traditional browsers with an enterprise browser designed for work. We’re delighted to welcome Bank of America as our newest strategic investor and we’re grateful for the continued support from Pivot Investment Partners and so many other existing investors.”
