MyGate:获融$50M 智能安保系统

【191017 Techcrunch】MyGate, a Bangalore-based startup that offers security management and convenience service for guard-gated premises, said today it has bagged more than $50 million in a new financing round as it looks to expand its footprint in the nation.

【191017 Techcrunch】MyGate是一家位于班加罗尔的初创公司，为门卫场所提供安全管理和便利服务。该公司今天表示，由于希望扩大在该国的覆盖范围，已筹集了超过5,000万美元的新一轮融资。

Chinese internet giant Tencent, Tiger Global, JS Capital and existing investor Prime Venture Partners  funded the three-year-old startup’s $56 million Series B financing round. The new round pushes MyGate’s total fundraise to $67.5 million.

中国互联网巨头腾讯，老虎环球，JS资本和现有投资者Prime Venture Partners为这家成立三年的初创公司进行了5600万美元的B轮融资。新一轮融资使MyGate的总融资额达到了6,750万美元。

MyGate offers an eponymous mobile app that allows home residents to approve entries and exits, communicate with their neighbors, log attendance and pay society maintenance bills and daily help workers.

MyGate提供了一个同义的移动应用程序，该应用程序使居家居民可以批准出入，与邻居交流，记录出勤情况并支付社会维护费用以及日常帮助工作者。

The startup says it is operational in 11 cities in India and has amassed over 1.2 million home customers. Its customer base is increasing by 20% each month, it claimed. The service is handling 60,000 requests each minute and clocking over 45 million check-in requests each month.

这家初创公司表示，它已经在印度的11个城市运营，已经积累了超过120万的家庭客户。它声称，其客户群每月增加20％。该服务每分钟处理60,000个请求，每月处理超过4,500万个签入请求。

The idea of MyGate came after its co-founder and CEO, Vijay Arisetty, left the Indian armed force. In an interview with TechCrunch, he said his family was appalled to learn about the poor state of security across societies in India.

MyGate的想法是在其联合创始人兼首席执行官Vijay Arisetty离开印度武装部队之后提出的。在接受TechCrunch采访时，他说，他的家人为得知印度各个社会的安全状况不佳而感到震惊。

“This was also when e-commerce companies and food delivery firms were beginning to gain strong foothold in the nation. This meant that many people were entering a gated community each day,” he said.

“这也是电子商务公司和食品配送公司开始在美国站稳脚跟的时候。这意味着每天都有许多人进入封闭式社区。”他说。

MyGate has inked partnerships with many e-commerce players to create a system to offer a silent and secure delivery experience for its users. The startup also trains guards to understand the system.

MyGate已与许多电子商务参与者建立了合作伙伴关系，以创建一个为其用户提供安静，安全的交付体验的系统。该初创公司还训练警卫人员了解系统。

According to industry estimates, more than 45 million people in India today live in gated communities, and that figure is growing by 13% each year. The private security industry in the country is a $15 billion market.

根据行业估计，当今印度有超过4,500万人居住在封闭的社区中，并且这个数字每年以13％的速度增长。该国的私人安全行业的市场价值为150亿美元。

Arisetty says he believes the startup could significantly accelerate its growth as its solution understands the price-sensitive market. Using MyGate costs an apartment about Rs 20 (28 cents) per month. Even at that price, the startup says it is making a profit. “Today, we are seeing more demand than we can handle,” he said.

Arisetty说，他相信这家初创公司可以大大加快其增长速度，因为其解决方案可以理解价格敏感的市场。使用MyGate每月花费大约20卢比（28美分）。即使以这样的价格，这家初创公司也表示正在盈利。他说：“今天，我们看到的需求超出了我们的能力。”

That’s where the new funding would come into play for the startup, which today employs about 700 people.

这就是这家初创公司发挥新作用的地方，该公司如今拥有约700名员工。

The startup plans to use the fresh capital to expand its technology infrastructure, its marketing and operations teams and build new features. The startup aims to reach 15 million homes in 40 Indian cities in the next 18 months.

这家初创公司计划动用新资金来扩展其技术基础架构，营销和运营团队并建立新功能。这家初创公司的目标是在未来18个月内覆盖印度40个城市的1500万户家庭。

In a statement, Sanjay Swamy, managing partner at Prime Venture Partners, said, “It’s been great to see a fledgling startup execute consistently and holistically, and grow into a category-creating market-leader.”

Prime Venture Partners的执行合伙人Sanjay Swamy在一份声明中说：“很高兴看到刚起步的初创公司始终如一地全面执行，并成长为创造类别的市场领导者。”
