Announcing Magic’s $52M Strategic Funding Round led by PayPal Ventures
Today marks a monumental milestone for Magic as we announce that we have closed our strategic funding round with $52 million, amidst one of the most tumultuous macroeconomic environments. The round was led by PayPal Ventures, with participation from Cherubic, Synchrony, KX, Northzone, and Volt Capital. This investment brings our total raised capital to over $80 million, reinforcing Magic's position as an industry leading wallet-as-a-service (WaaS) provider.
