Cardata raises $100 million
Cardata, which helps companies reimburse employees who use their own car for work, announced a $100 million funding round led by Wavecrest Growth Partners, with participation from MassMutual Ventures.
Founded in 1999, Cardata provides a suite of reimbursement software, compliance programs, and business intelligence tools for companies whose employees drive their personal cars for work. One solution offered by Cardata revolves around insurance – the company works with businesses to find the right auto insurance policy for their employees, as well as ensure driver compliance and automating policy renewals.
The investment will accelerate the company’s market coverage and “pace of innovation” in both its core systems and new products.

As Cardata has helped tens of thousands of drivers get reimbursed for using their personal car for work, we aim to unlock more value for our users and expand our market coverage. This strategic investment from Wavecrest and MassMutual will accelerate the pace of our product innovation and help us continue to deliver a superior experience, along with new products, for our users.” – Sheret Ross, CEO at Cardata.
