Discord valued at $7 billion after fresh investment

The Series H funding comes as Discord aims to move beyond just being an app for gamers to chat, and appears to be targeting the likes of Slack as the go-to workplace app.

According to TechCrunch, the app hit 140 million monthly active users — double its base from 12 months ago. Plans for the funds include boosting both its free and subscription-based Nitro services.

Investing this time has been led by Greenoaks Capital, with Index Ventures joining them. Past investors include Chinese behemoth Tencent.
