The latest round brings the total sum of financing raised by Stori to $50 million. 

Bertelsmann Asia Investments (BAI) Capital, Chinese Source Code Capital and Vision Plus Capital also re-upped in the current round. The three investors had, in February 2020, invested $10 million in Stori’s Series A+ round.
