The funding comes after an undisclosed investment in June 2021. It will help expand both the team and its operations.

Sendmarc, a South African cybersecurity startup that provides companies and individuals with tools to ensure email security and prevent identity theft, recently raised US$7 million in a Series A led by Atlantica Ventures and several participating investors.

Thanks to the funding, the startup plans to expand its product line to include additional identity theft protection features.

In June 2021, it secured an undisclosed amount of funding from Endeavor South Africa to expand its South African operations.

With over 1,000 clients (including 80% in South Africa and the remaining 20% in other parts of the world), Sendmarc eyes up to 100,000 clients in the coming five years. It also plans to expand its sales team across Africa to get closer to its clients and provide tools to monitor global email and domain security practices.
