Up to now 12 months, Yuno caught the attention of main funding firm DST World Companions, which put collectively a current $25 million Collection A injection into the corporate. DST was joined by Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger World, Kaszek Ventures and Monashees. That new spherical of capital provides Yuno a valuation of $150 million, Ortega mentioned.
