How are you funded?

            Dashlane  has  raised  more  than  $190M  in  total  funding  from  FirstMark,  Sequoia  Capital,  Bessemer
            Ventures, Rho Capital Partners and others. The company is cash-flow positive, with healthy growth that
            allows Dashlane to invest into scaling its platform and building an enduring business.


            What is your 3-year product roadmap?

            While  we  don’t  discuss  specifics,  what  we  can  say  is  that  Dashlane  will  continue  to  innovate  in  the
            following areas:

               •  Enterprise  support  and  offering  increased  protection  for  all employees.  The  key  is  to give  the
                   admin visibility and control over the company credential hygiene with low effort, while making the
                   product delightful for employees to adopt and use every day.
               •  Passwordless and leading the industry into a world without passwords and phishing. We are very
                   active  in  the  FIDO  Alliance,  pushing  new  passwordless  standards  such  as  passkeys  and
                   WebAuthn.
               •  Keep raising  the bar around credential  security  and cryptography.  For instance,  we have been
                   exploring the implications of post-quantum cryptography for Dashlane.


            How do you keep your key devs around?

            Financial Services firm Consero boasts a 90% Dashlane adoption rate with users across India, the U.S.,
            and Canada.  Because  Consero  takes security  so seriously,  new hires automatically  receive Dashlane
            training, which gives every employee a strong foundation for secure password practices. From simplifying
            onboarding  and offboarding processes  to providing quick customer  support, and more, using Dashlane
            has paid dividends.

            “We’ve increased our security and helped clients increase theirs,” shares Kartheek S. Head of Information
            Technology at Consero. And it’s not just passwords that Consero employees can save in Dashlane. “We
            can now also safely store answers to follow-up security questions, which saves us a significant  amount
            of time every day.”
