Proceeds Purpose
The inclusion of TransLink Capital gives a hint as to how the company is planning to use the funding. One of TransLink's specialties is helping entrepreneurs develop customers in Asia. Skymind believes that it has a major opportunity in that market, so having TransLink lead this round makes a lot of sense. Skymind also plans to use the round to build out its team in North America and fuel customer acquisition there.
