Digital broker Gabi has raised $27 million in Series B funding, led by Mubadala Capital, the asset management arm of Mubadala Investment Company. Existing investors Canvas Ventures, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Correlation Ventures, Securian Ventures, A.Capital Ventures and Project A also participated in the round. New investors to the round include CMFG Ventures, Burst Capital and AngelList.
